Anybody >know of a work around for this, besides manually copying the diskettes? The answer is to rename SHARE.EXE to something else. Reboot. Install Excel. Restore SHARE.EXE to its original name. Reboot again. This is what MS told me to do. I also have a single 322 MByte partition, but this works fine. I do this for all WinApps installs, but I normally run with SHARE loaded. I just wish MS would remind us of this "feature" in their installation documentation so we wouldn't waste so much time before we remember to rename SHARE. -- Marshall L.
