Have you run the setup with the 'write detailed installation log to postgresql-8.2.log in the current directory' checked?
Can you paste the relevant bits of that log (which you can find in the same directory as the installation file) into a message so more educated persons can take a look?
If it's a file system problem, I'd also suggest going to http://www.sysinternals.com to their file and disk utilities, download ntfilemon and run it to monitor file activity (HINT: Set the filter to include only *postgres*, otherwise you will be flooded with information relating to file system access from everything else on your server - and turn on advanced output) that may show you more information about what the error was from the file system point of view.
