Setup was unable to retrieve the product ID

A

Alan Hinman

because of the following error:
RegOpenKeyEx(system\setup\pid) returned error 2 (2)

Fatal error

Setup was unable to retrieve the product ID of the system
you are installing. The win 2k media may be damaged (I
don't think so). Please contact product support.

This is being installed over win 98SE, and has already
upgraded to NTFS....

The win 2k CD is an OEM version that I have bought.

Any suggestions anyone?????
