All,

I wrote a bit ago about running into the atapi.sys error and here is what I found out.  I was trying to install it on 3 different machines.

#        Model                Integrated NIC                PCI NIC                Notes
1        Optiplex 260        Intel Pro 1000                                  Ran with no problems
2        Optiplex  400        3com 3c920 (905-TX)                        Atapi.sys error
3        Precision 610        3com 3c1918                                Atapi.sys error

This first machine had no problems.  Machines 2&3 got the atapi.sys error every time.  Finaaly I added a PCI Intel Pro 1000 to machines 2 & 3 and it worked.  I'm nmot sure but anytime i ran it with the 3com integrated NICs i would get the atapi.sys error.  I even tried adding the drivers for the 3com cards to the OEM preinstall but that didn't work.

I guess this mean I have to add Intel Pro 1000 PCI cards to all my machines here.  I am hoping there is another way around this.  If anyone has any feedback let me know

Thanks
Heather
