another answer installation expanding files

Another answer to installation expanding files problem.

I kept having my installation of Vista X86 stopped at 27% of "Expanding Files" with a message of " Anerror occured while preparing windows setup to boot into the next stage of setup.".
I had XP Home on one 120Gb IDE drive and was installing Vista X86 on my other 160Gb IDE drive. I had Norton "Go Back" enabled on the XP drive and it blitzed my installation. As soon as I "disabled" "Go Back" the installation proceeded smoothly.
I
tried re-enabling "Go Back" after installation was complete, but it prevented Vista from booting up saying it could not preform it's self check routine.
After disabling "Go Back" again every thing works fine.
I also read that anothor member said that "Back It Up" can cause the same problem. -- I''m Down the Tubes with the whales!

An excellent tip!
