Well figured out what it was...the Iomega Zip drive. I had that as Master and the
CD-ROM as slave. XP isnt' smart enough to differentiate and kept looking at the
ZIP drive for the files to install.
I unplugged the ZIP, made the CD master and presto it works. Stupid stupid stupid
Microsoft. I installed Windows 2000 Pro with no problem, but XP or 2003 seem to
be stund bunnies.
