First check would be to disconnect IDE cable to secondary slave (Zip drive), and run installation again. The most common case (majority of computers) is that there is only CD/DVD drive on secondary IDE channel connected as master. That makes errors that come from bad interaction of master and slave on secondary IDE much harder to catch. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
