When you say you replaced the drive, was this the CD drive, or the HD? Do you have enough space on the HD for the installation? I once had a CD drive that just couldn't read CDs to save it's life. Replaced it with the same brand and had the same problem. Replaced with a different manufacturer and everything was fine. If you can add a few more details it might be easier to help you.

The installation CD may be dirty (has fingerprints, etc.). This may be why the CD starts to slow then stops at 39%. It's having a hard time reading/writing. Also, make sure no anti-virus software is running in the background.Jim

HiI've had the same problem myself with one of my cd drives. If you have the room on your hard disk, create a temp folder and copy the cd's to that directory. Next run setup.exe from your hard drive. You shouldn't have any problem copying the files as mine will copy all three with no problem. It just won't install.Hope this helps,Edhttp://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

I replaced the CD drive. How do I make shure that there are no anti virus programs running.The FS2002 disk is clean and bran new.

Right click on "my computer"Select Device manager tab... Everything ok?Select "performace" tab... It should say "your system is configured for optimal performance" Does it?

Try This:Right Click My computer. Left Click Device ManagerExpand CDROMRight Click the CDROM device, Select PropertiesClick Settings Tab. Is DMA checked? If so, turn it off. Okay everything. Then try to reinstall.This worked for me.BobL

Did you change discs and insert disc two?

I see you're using Windows 98 with a pretty powerful system. I think that might have something to do with your problem. I used to run FS2002 on a Celeron 533/Win98 system and it worked fine, albeit slow. I upgraded to a P4/512MB DDR system, and I couldn't even reinstall FS2002. It would get to somewhere between 16% and 32% and freeze up. I think it has something to do with the way 98 uses memory. But I upgraded to Win XP and haven't had any similar problems since.

Thank You all I fixed it by installinf Win 200! Apreiciate All the help!
