Vista Business installation error 0x80070005

Hi!
I have a serious problem installing vista business. During installation expanding files 21%
(directly after first reboot) I get the following error message: "Windows cannot
install required files. Network problems may be preventing Windows from
accessing the file. Make sure the computer is connected to the network and
restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070005"

I've tried following without any succes:
*running Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, said there should be n problem.
*staying connected to network (and internet) during installation.
*upgrading BIOS.
*3 different ISOs, (2 DVD-versions and 1 CD-version).
*different keys, both from MSDNAA. Also tried with no key at all.
*mounting ISO with PowerISO or Daemon Tools.
*flat installation = copying all ISO content to hdd.
*installing on either of 2 hdds, and also tried disconnecting the other one
during installation.
*boot-installing from DVD.
*full installation from XP.
*upgrading from XP SP2.
*getting latest updates during installation.
*disabling virus-protection and firewall, haven't found any BIOS virus
protection to disable though. Have heard that could be a problem, my mobo is
ASUS p5nd2-sli. Can't find any info of such BIOS virus protection on that mobo?

HELP PLEASE!!!

Asus + Vista

I've got the same problem with Asus A8V motherboard.
I think it may be the SATA drive? Going to try a PATA drive.

Did you have any luck with a solution?

Hi
I have a Western Digital 320GB hard drive. I partitioned of 50GB. I have Windows Vista Ultimate x86. It gets to the 4th stage(installing updates) then it comes up with the error "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install windows restart the installation."

What can I possible do. I have ran the advisor and it says my PC is compatible and I have quite a high spec PC. I have updated the bios and rebooted it to factory setting but it still doesn't work. Please help.
Network Problems (very frustrating)
Ok so I got windows Vista home premium... and I had problems with its 1st installation
(installed on a acer aspire 5630 laptop)
The 1st installation I told it to keep the old files and basicaly just upgrade (so i thought maybe this caused me all those problems on 1st installation)
So.. the 2nd installation i asked for a clean new install, this worked fine... not as many issues... and the ones i had i managed to fix after a couple of days.. except for one... one VERY annoying one...

Iv had vista a couple of weeks now and i havnt managed to connect to my network wirelessly for that time... i can connect if i plug the modem directly into the laptop..but this isnt very practical for me as doing this stops the 4 other pc's in my home from accessing the internet through the router...

Error message during installation
I have a Sony VAIO laptop (VGN-C190P) and received the express upgrade kit for Windows Vista Business. I inserted the CD, followed the instructions and proceeded to install. After the BIOS was updated it took me to a screen where it said installation files were being copied; it was not actually installing Vista yet. Every time, at the exact same place, I received an error message that read "an unknown error has occured while searching for an unnamed file." The title bar read, "irsetup." I reset the BIOS to factory defaults and tried again but nothing changed. Every time I try, I get the same error message at the exact same place and the process does not go any farther.
ATI and Vista
Upon Installing Windows Vista, I was getting the "Blue Screen of Death" and it would only appear for half a second. I could not workout why vista would not complete the installation until i got a glimpse of the blue screen before the sytem rebooted.. Apparently, there is a problem with the ATI driver that vista shipped. So, What i did was, replace the graphic card with an old one, and I could complete the installation that way. If you are having the same problem, follow the steps below:

Replace ATI Graphic Card before Vista Installation.
Install Vista
Do a Windows Update When Installation is complete.
