Next, I had to remove the swap file because Windows insisted on putting it at the very end of the free space (IIR, you remove it by setting the virtual memory to 0 and rebooting). After removing the swap file and rebooting the install CD things worked fine. Once everything is installed, don't forget to go back and turn the virtual memory/swap back on in Windows. Again, this worked in Windows 2000, for XP, YMMV! Joeb
