I am using it on win2000 and it works great. I didn't even had the problem related to too big drives. I didn't have to make a partition. It informed me about 'no disk space' but I clicked the 'continue installation' button and it went OK.

The problem with the errors in the CD setup menu is not serious. I had it displayed a few times during installation, but it meant that either something was not ticked, erroneously selected or the wrong discs were in the CD-ROM (I have two CD-ROMs and the first disk should be in the first CD-ROM and the secon in the second one). Just let yourself go and fiddle a bit... Hope this helps
