Hi Brian,
This behavior can occur if Adaptec DirectCD software has been run on the computer
before you started the Windows 2000 in-place upgrade. For more information, see the
following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:

And this behavior can be associated with out-of-date firmware on the CD-ROM drive, or
if the CD-ROM drive is incompatible with Windows 2000. For more information, see the
