Does anyone have any ideas for > me to try? Newer versions of Windows aren't meant to have problems with this,=20 but try removing the CD and any floppy disks immediately after=20 rebooting. After restarting, if the Windows installation needs data=20 from the CD, it will prompt you to re-insert it. If you continue to have problems, let us know how you formatted the=20 HD, and if you made it NTFS or FAT32.
