Ensure that one single hard drive only is connected during the installation.

That last article should be used ***only*** if the boot drive letter was C:\
to begin with and was inadvertantly changed. If it was not, do NOT use the
steps there under any circumstances. That article is meant to correct an
error, not as a means of changing the original installation.

Disconnect all peripheral devices during the install particularly zip
drives and other external drives. All that's needed is the keyboard,
mouse, single CD drive, and single hard drive.
