Reader Reviews
So, I'm having the same problem with disk2. I'm looking around the internet to see if it's just me, and I find a review with the same problem. Apparently the second cd they're giving out is not what they were trying to package with the book, and it won't be accepted by the installation. Don't buy this unless someone else comes later and posts a positive response to the cd. Other than that it's still pretty hard to get the setup done with instructions that leave much to be wanted. I would imagine the book would be better and have more stuff, only I can't follow it because I can't install with the second cd.
