It's beta software and obviously there's something in your setup it doesn't like - file a bug report with Microsoft and wait until the next beta is released.

Try a clean install not upgrade

What he said - on the Windows 7 guides that are all over the internet state to that to never install Windows 7 by upgrading from Vista as 7 is still a Beta & there are still bugs in Windows 7 that might cause problems when upgrading. Always do a clean full install.

Installing at stock right?

Sounds a strange problem that.

I did read on one forum that a guy had the exact same problem. He got around his by burning the iso again but at a lower speed.

But then again another guy said he can't install it but seems to think it's due to his terabyte drive.

Might be a dodgy burn.

maybe your system is unstable (dodgy memory etc etc)... quite often brings a windows install to it's knees with strange errors.

never install windows while overclocked... just asking for trouble.
