Bootcamp Install Windows 7 Expanding Windows Files

Hi, I'm trying to install the Windows 7 beta on a second SATA drive I have (the first one contains a WinXP installation), in a dual boot configuration. When installing by booting from the DVD, the installation gets stuck at 0% of 'Expanding Files' (mouse pointer gets stuck, numlock does not respond.) When installing through my WinXP installation, everything goes fine until the first reboot - which brings me into the non-XP installation part, which gets stuck at ~30% expanding files. The installation image is fine - I tried installing from various sources (DVD and from my HD). An installation with the same image inside a virtual machine (with MS Virtual PC) worked flawlessly. Any log files that might help? The last line in my 'setupact.log', if it is relevant, is '2009-01-16 23:33:09, Info [0x0606cc] IBS Calling WIMApplyImage (flags = 0x184).' Thanks, Lior.

Copied files, Stopped when expanding files at 4%, Then tried rerunning the install with 2nd DVD. The previous install created 2 partitions. One that was 100MB and another that was the rest of the disk. Run8 train simulator download. Based on one web post I formatted the 100MB partition andI selected the rest of the disk partition (37GB) to install Windows 7. Copied files.

Based on these three observations, I'd venture a guess that you need SATA drivers to successfully perform the installation.
