There´s a lot of stuff that can be done about Error 1305 which is caused bay the M$ Installer. Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;EN-US;248263

Too much to type here, but it comes down to either a defective CDROM drive, Problems with UDF support, or a corrupt media (maybe a bad copy )

thanks mate for your support i will look into this now
