Use the O/S on the HD if one already there

Don't try to boot off the CD. Do this instead:

1. Allow Hard disk boot
2. Press F8 on startup
3. Select Safe Mode with command prompt
4. Select CD drive "<CD Drive>:"
5. type "Setup"
6. Press Enter key

Obviously - only works if HD already has a prior o/s
