me too, but...
mine stays at 0% fior a long time and then a window pops up that says ""the wrong volume is in the drive" and it asks me to make sure "grc1culxfrer_en_dvd" is in D: drive
i'm using the 64 bit version when i get thihs error.
I downloaded this directly from microsoft, so i'm pretty sure i have the right iso.
i am trying the 32 bit version now, and i have gone past the 0%, but it's still taking a long time. i will let you know how it works out.
one thing i have found is that it takes up to 20-30 minutes to boot from the cd on my machine, and i have no idea why.
i have:
AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition
4gig G Skill RAM
ATI Radeon 4650 w/1gig PCI-E
Gigabyte MA770-UD3 motherboard
it seems like it wouldn't take so long
