Setup of CRM Server fails with unkown error

I get the following error message:
Failed to install Microsoft Customer Relationship Management Server.
Failed to provision your initial business.
Failed to create organization.
Unknown error. (80040E07).

What I have already tried to do:
I tried to install on our second Domain Controller (Win2K3 English), on our
Primary DC (a German SBS Premium Edition), on a German Win2K3 German
membership server. Always same results: the setup program can do lot of
things, it can also create a new organizational unit in our ADS, create some
icons in the start menu. But then it fails unexpectedly. Always, I'm the
domain administrator when I run the setup. And all systems and machines are
running with latest patches. The domain compatibility mode is Win2000. Disc
space is not a problem. The machines seem to not be the problem. Als systems
are 32 bit systems (and no one an x64). Should it be something in my domain?
Master servers, etc.? But exchange works fine, user accounts can be created
properly and so on. Nothing seems misconfigured.

Has anybody got an advise for me?

Thanks!

Please post the failures of your setup log file. This is located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username&\Application Data\MSCRM\
(it might be local settings\application data. It has been a few days
since I've searched for one).
Within the log file you should see at the end, the failures it had,
please post those errors.
Also, is the user you are using to install CRM with an enterprise admin
as well as a domian admin?
What are the specifications of the server you are installing CRM to?
What is the CRM servers OS?
Where is SQL, same box or separate server?
Please let me know
Thanks

I'd be very happy if there were something. But there is no one single log
file in the whole user settings folder. And there is no Application
Data\MSCRM folder, the same in the Local Settings folder. In the complete
user settings folder not one hint that there might be a CMS installation.

Also in the program files folder there is no one log file except one of
crystalAPS log in C:\Programme\Microsoft CRM\Crystal
Decisions\Enterprise\Logging.

My administrator account is the mother of all administrators, let's say it's
domain and enterprise admin and whatever admin you like ;-)

But I found in the system event log following entry:
Product: Microsoft Customer Relationship Management Server -- Error 1327.
Invalid Drive: G:\

Why in the heck it want to access a drive G: ??? I only have got a drive C:...
