Trying to install Windows 7 Beta (7000) on a Mac? -

Hey guys. I have a new unibody MacBook and have downloaded and burned the Windows 7 Beta 7000 iso onto a DVD. I then partitioned my harddrive (16gb) using Boot Camp and went through the beginning steps of the install. My computer restarted and went into the windows install, however, when it was expanding the files, at about 42% the following error message popped up, quot;Cannot install required files - maybe corrupt or missing. Error code: 0 x 80070017.quot; I would love to get this up and running on my mac so any help would be great. Thanks so much.

ISO image downloads can often get corrupted, due to their massive size. Delete the existing ISO image and download it again. FYI: When burning ISO s it s best to burn them at the lowest speed your burner will allow. This can also help to NOT mess them up. TIP: 16 GB is way too small. Try 48 GB, as a bare minimum. The procedure is explained in the Boot Camp Help Files.
