It is an original CD supplied with a Microsoft Action
Pack. My gut feeling was that it wasn't the CD as the
files it skipped were not the same each time.
The CD works OK to perform an upgrade but have had this
issue with it before on a clean install.
I had thought about the CD drive but this has been
recently replaced so felt that it would be unlikely that
dirt/dust in the nmechanuism would be causing the problem.
I will try with a different CD drive and report back....
Thank you.
