Hello, I am attempting to install Windows Vista Business on a new machine.

The installation program will let me enter the CD key, and get to the disk
partitioning screen. I can partition the hard disk, and Windows starts to
copy files, then I get the following error:

Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure
all files required for installation are available, and restart the
installation. Error code: 0x80070002

When I click the OK button on the error box, it takes me back to the initial
installation screen. When I start the installation over, I can get all the
way to the disk partitioning screen again, but now no disks are recgonized.

Does anybody have any recommendations on how to fix this problem? Thanks

Have you tried full formatting the hard disk before installing? I got similar problem too (but) with Windows XP. It can't copy file from CD as if the CD was scratched, after two hours of figuring out wth, I solved the problem by full format the hard disk, not quick format...

yup, try to full format the HDD.

or maybe you got the problem from the windows CD.

dont forget to check again your cable connection.

good luck. dont forget to post your result.

can call microsoft toll free number to verify the problem.
