Description Larry Paquette 2000-10-19 20:24:53 UTC
I have just attempted my tenth hard drive install on different machines. 
Four of the attempts were on brand new Win98 installs, the other six were 
various forms of installation from version 6.2.  This seems like it would 
be related to #18019 but I have some different text.

It seems like the mount is getting lost, always around this point.  Any 
ideas??  I can't afford any more time on this.

Here is the dump:

This is most certainly due to either a corrupt or incomplete install image.

You may want to try burning ISO images instead.
