I have a DVD burner and a CD burner in my computer. They say, in that KB
article, "This issue may occur if you use a DVD or CD-RW drive to install
Office 2000." That's all I got in my compuer, a DVD (not just a DVD reader
but a burner too) and a CD burner. What am I supposed to do????

Interesting.
