I am trying to load the 0801 2.2 snap onto a DELL optiplex and I am not having much luck :-( The install seems to be working and the CD is recognized but it has never made it thru even the first bin.?? stuff. It has made it as far as 80% and as little as 10% before the CD seems to lockup. The shell reports that the drive is not responding and it definitely appears locked because even the eject buttons does not work. Selecting retry is not successful but the install program keeps trying (sure is a lot more robust than it used to be :-) ) It says something about the device not responding. I know, you think after seeing it a dozen times I would know exactly but its late :-) anyone have any hints??? anyone load an optiplex successfully? DELL optiplex, pentium 166, 16Meg memory 1GIG ide port 1 ATAPI CD on IDE port 2, no slaves on either port Thanks for any help Jim Leppek
