Re: Setup failure

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.
