The first disc is the SP2 disc.  Put that one back in the
drive.

Using two different pairs of MCE 2005 disks, after the two disks appear to finish, a screen asks for a third XP SP2 disk, which does not exist. If I continue with an SP2 update disk, I get a stream of requests for files that don't exist on this disk. If I don't continue, I have an installation that is obviously incomplete. I am waiting for replacement disks, but would prefer to complete the install with what I have if possible.
