No matter how i try it I mean an upgrade or a clean install this is the error that i get : windows installation encountered an unexpected error verify that the installation sources are accessible and restart the installation error code:0xE00000100
not sure what this means.... has anyone else had this show up for them... if so whats the fix?
Ive suddenly got the same error and its driving me bonkers only ever since i tried installing Build 7264 but it seem's that it also happens on all of my installation discs no matter what build, Any help would be muchly appreciated

Yup clean installs (I've only ever done them) after a few tries i get a BSOD with it reporting a few options claiming it as a Hardware Issue and the final option it suggests to enter BIOS and disable(or)delete (I Think) memory caching but cant see anything like that in my BIOS.
Had same error upgrading from Vista Ultimate 64 to W7 Ultimate 64, it was persistant and reading around the forums someone was suggesting it might be a memory contention issue. I had two pairs of memory sticks installed so i removed the ones from slot 2 tried agian and it worked first time. As this was the only change I made I figure this was the cause of my problem. After installation put the other two sticks back in and no problems - well none I can blame on W7!!!
