Hi Chuck

Why not copy the CD to a directory on your HD & install from there.

Use "Add/Remove Programs" in the control panel to create your startup
disk & boot to a command prompt by pressing F7 when the "Starting
Windoze" line appears.

This also simplifies later s/w installations since you won't need the
CD-ROM.
