At the MSN site, it says that you will be prompted to insert new
floppies when necessary, but what happens is that it tries to install
everything on one disk, and then I get the message that there isn't
enough room. Anybody know what could be wrong? And could I also save
the file to my HD, then write it to a CD, making a startup CD?

Thanks.

You can make bootable CD-DVD's, but I am not sure if it is a direct copy across of
the boot disk creator file. You can also set the CD-DVD device in the BIOS as
bootable (if a bootable disk is inserted), requiring no need for boot disks, other
than the exisiing one on the installation disk.
