Razzlfrazzle!!!

It wasn't the CD-Rom Drive.

I replaced the CD burner with a new one and the Windows install bombed at the same percent again. So I replaced the hard drive again! Then it bombed again. At this point I was tired, hungry and frustrated beyond belief.

I removed one of the RAM sticks, and it bombed at 30%. So I swapped the sticks and Vwing! It installed. It was the ram the whole time. How evil!
