Hello,

I was installing a clean version of Win2k professional on my workstation at work (HP Brio 8580, PII 350, 128MB RAM, 7 GB HD). All appeared to be going well until I came to selecting components. Since I needed none of the options for my selected setup I left all options unchecked. I received an error stating that there was not enough disk space on my hard drive to install Win2k and to remove some components. I then looked down at where it says the installation size and size available it reads 8 Terabytes required, with 7 GB left. Any ideas? It obviously sounds like its not reading something right but does anyone have a clue on what I could do to get around this or where to start?
