vista beta 2 installation hangs wait

Burned the 64-bit ISO, booted with it, it loaded the installer, I clicked "install now" it comes up with "Please wait..." and then just hangs. nothing happens at all, no drives are being accessed, nothing.

Alternative install methods can be found here - option 4 :o) http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?getstarted

It's the 64-bit ISO. I can't extract it and run it in a 32-bit environment. I must install from boot/

Same hang here on either x86 or 64 bit DVD from Microsoft. It would be useful to know your hardware configuration. I suspect my problem stems from using embedded video on the MB. My config is: ECS RC410L/800-M with Pentium D-805 1GB ddr2-533 NEC DVD/RW 3550A Seagate 250Gb 7900-10 in IDE mode Internal video ATI x/200 using 128MB shared memory
