Chris,

Thanks for the response.

My system has two ide buses.

- first is labelled ultra ata and has the hard drive on it.
- second is labelled ide and has the Matshita CD and zip drive on it.

- I tried unplugging the second bus, but I still go the error.
- Next, I put the hard drive on the second bus (where the cd was) and 
everything worked.  I was able to do the first step of the install and it 
completed initializing the disk.  I got stuck after that because I had no CD 
drive (with the rest of the installation:).

- I'm going put the CD drive at the other bus id and retry.

Thanks again,
Rick
