I have no idea why, but this is making no sense to me whatsoever.
First off, I'm making a build for my friend. Relevant parts are a QX9650 on a EP45-UD3P with 2x2GB G.Skill DDR2-1066 CL5D 4GBPK with a WD Caviar Black 640GB and a Sony DVD-RW.
This is a completely fresh install; the harddrive is brand new as is the DVD drive. I've made, deleted, and re-made the main partition about five times already, yet this problem persists.
Windows 7 DVD would load fine, but when when it starts installing it'd get stuck at 0% at "Expanding Files" stage. After a while, it shows a 0x80070006 error. I've googled this and the workaround seems to be upgrade from Vista, but as this is a fresh build it doesn't have Vista on it and my friend doesn't want to pay for two operating systems.
The $30 student version can be the full version if it is asked for during the order process. I asked for full and got it...loaded a clean install on my machine just fine.
Seems like the OP had the upgrade version unfortunately.
