Not helpful at all.

       This is the first thing I thought of.  I just ignored the error to 
see if I could farther along with    the install for now.

       Could be.

      PC has an 80 GB drive.

      I wish I was that brave.  I'm just a lowly windows admin..  I tend to 
stay pretty close to my gui roots, unfortunately.

For now, I have ignored the error in hopes that I can continue along with 
the install and deal with it later.  I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the help.
