SYMPTOMS

This dialog box may appear just after the Calculate Disk Space Requirements dialog box is displayed.

Volume Disk Size Available Required Difference ------------------------------------------------------------ F: 505MB 0KB 2994KB -2994KB

In these two log file entries, F:\ is pointing to the root of the CD-ROM drive.
