Different drives and maybe the disk is just a bit off or your laptop
drive isn't perfect. Does the laptop drive see the NIS disk? If you put
the NIS disk in the drive and then go to My Computer, does the CD drive
show that NIS is in it? If so, right-click the icon and choose
"Explore" or "Open". Look for something like Setup.exe and double-click
it to run. If that doesn't work, try copying the contents of the disk
to a folder on your hard drive and running Setup from there.
