You were right about the disk possibly being full. The disks I used are
TDK CD-R marked 700MB. I burned them on my T42p using the IBM Record
Now! package that came with XP Pro.I believe that I set it to 1x, but it
was way too much data.

I burned the image onto a DVD-R a while ago, and it is now installing,
way past the point of error.

Thanks!
