Experianced this problem also and a few more. Decided to do a clean reinstall. This time I unchecked get updates. Installation completed with no errors. After installation of the OS, verified that internet connection worked and then waited until the undates became available automatically and installed them automatically in back ground. In general, I found the SBS 2008 installation very touchy. To much happening during the installation process in back ground for which little documentation could be found.
