You can place all the files from both CDs onto a single DVD and have that as a single disk solution that doesn't ask you to swap.

Disc1 is WindowsXP SP2 w/an extension for MCE Disc2 is the MCE Installer Kit. When it asks for SP2, you need to feed it disc1. Otherwise, it can never finish the install correctly.

AMD 3800+ Dual Core in an MSI Neo4 SLI MB, 1GB memory. It is replacing an NF2 system. The system posts fine and even boots up on the original Win2k installation. The original installation was on a PATA drive, I want to preserve that install, so I added a SATA drive and wanted to install MCE on the SATA drive (which was unpartitioned and unformated, fresh out of the box). MCE went fine, partitioned and formatted the SATA drive without complaint. It then began copying files over. The only hitch was when it asked for the SP2 disk, which I didn't have, so I cancelled that part. When it went into reboot, it refused to boot from either the harddisk or the CD. It gave the message something like 'Disk Bad, insert System and hit return'. It was late so I just shut the system down until tonight. BIOS was set to boot CD first, then floppy, then harddisk. If anything, it should have booted off the PATA drive. To me this sounds like the CD drive went bad on me and the system refuses to go further. Any other ideas? I'll be taking a closer look at it tonight and see what's going on.
