I continue to get this installation error when installing a clean copy of Vista. I have deleted the partition, reformatted to no avail. Some of my research points to a bad hard drive. Looking to confirm this. It is a gateway md2614u laptop.
Thanks all
 
Your drive manufacturer will have free bootable diagnostic software to thoroughly check out the condition of your hard drive. Try that to see if there are any drive problems.

Just some additional links which you have probably already visited.


It might not hurt to check your RAM too.

 
Linney,
Thank you. Your post set me in the right direction. I discovered that it was the hard drive. When the vendor was contacted they admitted they had gotten a bad batch of HDs. A new one is on the way. Hopefully all will install well.
