Nope. However, I have gotten 2k installed now.
I had a factory fresh virgin 120GB drive that I was saving for a rainy day and decided to try using that instead of the old 8GB drive that I was using.
The install went smoothly without a hitch.
Seems really strange to me. The 8GB had always worked fine up to this point. In fact, I had just installed Windows 98SE on it only hours earlier.
Any thoughts? I don't think the drive is bad but that's what it looks like is happening.
