OMG.........I am ready to throw my PC, and IPHONE through the window. I am having issues with my ITUNES. I deleted everything possible to ITUNES and APPLE and now that I am reinstalling ITUNES, I am getting this error message.

This is the error message that I am getting:

That one can indicate file/disk damage. So the first thing I'd try would be running a disk check on the C drive.

There's instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]

Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
