When Windows is loading files..., it is copying files from the Vista
DVD to the motherboard system memory. If winload.exe has checksum
errors, that means the copying process is introducing errors into the
copied file. Possible causes include system memory problems, or the
DVD drive having problems reading the DVD.

I would suggest you start by running a comprehensive memory test using
memtest86+ <http://www.memtest.org/#downiso>.

What is not causing the problem: bios boot order; at this stage of
setup, all you need to do is boot from the DVD, which is what is
happening.

Same result as what?

Tom Lake

Error message "winload.exe" the DVD doesn't have a single scratch. Thru
some reading i found out that some people advise to just get a new HDD
assuming that the old one is dead,but i'm not sure mine is dead cause
i've able to store files in it as a usb drive,but i guess i dont really
know much about how an HDD operates

the next step would be to install from a different CD. But 1st, I'd take that
CD back where you got it for a full refund.

The hard drive doesn't get into play until setup tells you to specify
where to install Vista. You should be able to get to this point in
setup even without any connected hard drive.

My new opinion is that your CD/DVD drive is dead, based on your report of
the failure of an XP installation too.

Note that I said the DRIVE, not the cd or dvd disk.

Is it possible to install Vista in this hard drive using an enclosure
kit and another vista computer?

I don't know.
Have you checked the memory ?
Can you try unplugging the modules and re-seating them.
If you have got 2 modules can you try removing one and see if you can
install from your known good XP cd using one memory module at a time.

he has one file that can't be read. That's the DVD, not the drive.
Assuming it's a store bought, he should return it for a replacement CD.
If it's ebay, I'd say kiss your bux goodbye. And buy a CD from Walmart.[color=blue]

He reported being unable to install XP as well.

See this:

It's the last sentence in that post.

By memory modules,do you mean the rams?

ok guys,i'm starting to think that i just can't format this disc the
right way. I'm getting error messages as if the bios was looking for
some missing files that are supposed to be existing. I removed one of
the RAM bars(a 512MB) and tried the install procedure,and the new error
message i'm getting is:

windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
status: 0xc0000098
and when i press "enter" at that screen it sends me the the windows
setup [EMS enabled]...window that give me the option of pushing F8 and
when i do,it sends me to the advanced boot options windows with
options:safe mode,safe mode with netw...,safe mode with cmd p...,enable
boot logging.....start normally
Seriously,what am i doing wrong here?how do i properly format a disc,i
feel real real stupid right now

Apparently, the Windows Vista installation disc you are using is
defective and should be replaced. For a replacement, see:

Problem Solved

I disconnected the network card(realtek....) and restarted with the
vista dvd,and bingo,it worked. I guess the hardware change was probably
talking about that little devil device.
I don't know how to thank you guys for the help,and time you spentto
help me. I had almost given up until you guys started guiding me,and
that really motivated to do something so i don't waist your time.

Again thank you
