can t upgrade vista

I am trying to upgrade my Windows XP SP2 system, and it gets all the way to the end ("Complete Installation"), and it ultimately fails with the following error:
"An error occurred while editing boot entries."
Anyone have any ideas? I do have three drives in the machine with one of them having Linux installed. I do use System Commander as my boot loader, but I have also disabled it (I have not un-installed it) and the same error as above occurs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

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

Thanks Zack for the info, and I had used Option 4 as in this aritcle you provided the link for, that is, copy the files to a local drive and install from that location.
I also know the .iso is good as I just finished installing Vista with VMWare on my Windows XP SP2 system that I want to upgrade with the same .iso Vista.
It seems that others are having similar issues with the "boot entries" error, I just would like to know what it is so I can "fix it" and then upgrade.
Any other thoughts, feel free to provide the info!

I am having the same problem. During file extraction I get the same error. I have verified my download to be correct. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. I will try it again in a minute as a clean install. See if that helps.
