..that is what the damn window says with the following incomplete and
useless "Access is denied" message.
Access to what? Where? Why? --- ZERO info. POS.
This happens almost exactly half the way thru the process as seen by the
progress bar.
What is more irritating that all of the work that had been done is then
UNDONE!

How in the #$&@#)^%!%^# can this be fixed?


Usually it is a issue withe file system. I've had that problem on a "bad"
cd. Used a different cd and it worked.


No CD involved; the install attemts are via broadband (friend's house).

Can you download an ISO CD image (on a working machine) and burn an
install CD?
