Hey,

I have LongHorn 4051. I burned it to a cd, and booted from the cd when i am installing it. I am installing it on a different partition that has one folder on it. When I try to install LH i get about half way (when starting the install from windows) (33% of the way when i boot from the cd) and it gives me an error. "Error copying files" I dont know why this is happening since I'm pretty sure I have a good copy of LH. I even tried copying the entire cd to the partition and it still did not work. It's NTFS so that can't be it. If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Check the other thread you posted in for a possible solution.

I'm still having problems install 4051. Do you have any suggestions other than installing from safemode? I tried installing from safemode both from cd and copying the cd to the hard drive, however it failed on all 4 attempts. Any additional help would be appreciated.

It sounds like a bad copy, if it won't install either way. When I first joined this forum I was trying to install build 4015 and I recieved alot of help from the people here at PROneTworks. After trying all the possible ideas they had nothing worked. It turned out that I had bad copy. I hope this helps. If not someone here will.

One thing you may want to do is extract the image of LH or put your cd in the drive and open the readme.htm. It contains important info on the requirements for installing LH. If evrything checks out then the ISO may be bad. Your best bet is to boot from the cd-rom dont start the setup in your windows OS.

I am wondering if it comes as an .iso image file, or do I need to use a seperate program (That is one pain to do, used it with linux)?

AFAIK Its usually a .rar file,
Use WinRAR or similar app to un-rar it.

Are there any MD5sum's you can check against?

Yes I know that it's a WinRAR, but does the actual file (The one being RARed)come as an .iso image file, so that it can just be burned to disc? Or do I need to use a seperate program to compile it into an image .iso?
Thanks for you support though.

Hehe,
Im sorry but Im not too knowledgable on that myself....
When I was on the Win2K3 beta team, the download came as an .ISO, so Im assuming that once un-rar'd this will be too..
There's only one way for you to find out.
If its not an ISO, then you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

Download a Trial of Alcohol 120% if you're looking for something to burn ISO's with :-)

Thanks, I'll probably just do that then (I have like a phobia about using any sort of .iso compiler since the new Fedora core came out). Only 44 hours remaining, and 22.5 percent of the way through!
