Actually, if you booted with a boot disk and started with cd rom support, you should be running the setup from E:

Usually when installing an operating system it does a scan of the drive and then installs but you can bypass the scan check.
I'm forgotten the command for it and I have Windows Me machine but you could try c:\setup.exe /? for the query and usually it should give you the command switches to bypass the scan check. Can you please let me know what commands you use.Thanks
