I installed Avira AV (http://www.free-av.com/) on my install of Windows 7... works fine (as far as I know).

I've downloaded windows 7 from microsoft's website (which went faster for me than multiple torrents I tried) and attempted to install it on a second hard drive and was faced with an error about halfway through "Expanding data", any ideas? This is happening on both the 32 and 64 bit versions I downloaded and the hard drive appears to be fine.

We contacted the makers of Avast yesterday to see if we could get virus samples to bork 7 with.
