SYMPTOMS
If you are running Setup from a CD-ROM drive connected to a parallel port, Setup cannot locate the CD-ROM drive after the first reboot and cannot copy files from the CD-ROM.



CAUSE
Devices connected to a parallel port are not initialized immediately after the first reboot during Setup. Parallel-port devices are not included in the install class for Windows Setup.



RESOLUTION
Allow Setup to continue without the CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive becomes available again after Setup is finished. You can then install items that were not successfully installed during Setup.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
