did you fdisk the drive before formatting? run fdisk and see if it's a normal fat32 or other hidden partitions...

come to think of it there might be a command line paramter whereby you can bypass that problem... setup /? will give you a list of them... I usually use
setup /ie /iv /is
perhaps stopping the scandisk (/is) will allow you to continue...

Yes, I've fdisked. Also tried running setup with all possible parameters 
Partition is standard FAT16; The error is actually inside the Windows setup, after the installshield progress bar gets to 100%

Did you try FDISK /MBR to clear the master boot record area of the drive?

I agree with arch0nmyc0n. Sounds like an EZBios type prog. Get a diagnostic boot disk from your HDD manufacturers website and run it...see if it finds anything.

could have been the disk you were using to transfer the files may have corrupted one or more of the files and now it can't read it properly?

Shouldnt be; WinRar found no errors when extracting.

Well then I'm pretty much out of ideas... google the error and see what happens... other than that I stick with my original idea of using a 2.5 to 3.5 driver converter to directly copy the files...
