============================
I'm betting dirty or damaged disk.
Try cleaning it with some warm water
and mild soap...rinse thoroughly and
dry with a soft cloth wiping from center
to edge not in circles.
Sometimes you can copy a disk and
install successfully from the copy.
Also you could try installing from the
hard drive...create a folder on your desktop
and copy the complete contents of both
disks into it...begin with disk one and when
you paste the contents of disk two...click
yes to "Do you wish to replace".
Now open the folder and click...Setup.exe.
BTW...before installing...create a restore
point, disconnect from the net, disable your
virus scanner and close all open programs.
If you have an HP OfficeJet turn it off.
These and other install tips are in a readme
file on disk one.
