2033 install:
The instructions at
"http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm" also apply to
creating a DVD image. Have a great day.

Hi Matt,

You need to change the Boot Order in Computer BIOS to boot from the CD
first. And if you are going to install on a new seperate Hard Drive, make
sure that you change the Hard Drive Priority to boot from that Hard Drive
first.

Also make sure that you partition the Hard Drive and don't use a Hard
Drive partition of over 50 GB in size, because of the amount of time to run
the maintenance programs on those partitions. Storage Partitions can be
greater than 50 GB, but not the operating system's partition.
