Hi yvan,

Are you able to browse the 2nd CD after you insert it?

With a problem like this I would recommend the following procedure:

Create an install directory in your root directory, eg c:\install
Copy the contents of each CD into a different subdirectory, eg
c:\install\disk1 ...\disk2 etc, using the following command with the
Start\Run utility: xcopy e:*.* c:\install\disk1 /s .Change the command to
....\disk2 /s and ...\disk3 / s according to the number of the CD
Run the autorun file (or setup file) from your hard drive
If the install program asks for the next cd, change the path accordingly
(instead of E: it would now be C:\install disk2 for example)

Hi yvan,

Well, if you're able to browse the CD, then go ahead and follow the
advice in Thomas's post otherwise your CD needs cleaning/replacement.

The following line had a little error in it:

If the install program asks for the next cd, change the path accordingly
(instead of E: it would now be C:\install disk2 for example)
The path should read: C:\install\disk2
