Looking to get started in the overclocking game but have a problem.

New build as per spec' below.

Went to install Vista Ultimate 64.

Error "Windows cannot open the rquired file D:\Sources\Install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart installation. Error code: 0x8007000D"

Contacted Overclockers as I thought it may be a faulty disc and was told abruptly "Not our problem, contact Microsoft"

Been on the phone to Microsoft for hours and they had no joy. Latest was a similar case where the DVD Rom or CD Rom was faulty and causing the exact same error.

Microsoft did say there was an issue with ram and asked me to pull two of the 2GB sticks and try again but no joy.

Anyone with similar issues or any ideas? I don't have a spare CD / DVD Rom
drive to try.

I know you guys like a challenge so please help me get my rig up and running so I can try some overclocking (Noob).

My old computer but not sure it's up to 64bit.

My DVD drive is IDE and the other one I have is ******.

Tried with one stick of ram - no joy. Haven't tried each in turn yet.

None of my mates would have a vista 64 disc to try either.

May see if I can get a drive on loan.

The Vista is retail and comes with a 32bit disc also which does work fine with all 6GB of ram installed.

Tried copying the disc to a USB pen drive on my laptop but when I connected it to the laptop it installed a driver so I didn't hold out much hope for booting the new rig from the pen drive. Sure enough when set to boot from "Removeable" in the Bios it froze.

Checked out the guide but it mentions not removing the pen drive from the computer.

Does this mean it has to be done on the computer in question or do you think I could copy the files on my laptop then use the pen drive on the new computer?

I suppose I could reinstall the 32bit Vista version then follow the guide.

Mmm what to do?
