RE:Installer is telling me that Disk 3 is not Disk 3, please insert Disk 3

["" <eloy_56 excite com>]

 I am having the same issue with disc 2. Disc 1 works fine and it came out to a total of 637MB, disc 2 is 638MB. But when the installer asks for disc 2 it doesn't recognize my disc 2. So my question is would burning it on a 700MB disc really work? Is there some other kind of solution to this problem? Thank you



Are you burning the CD's on 650 megs blanks or 700?  You might try to burn
the 3rd disc on a 700 meg CD.
