	How do i go about loading Crystal XI onto my new laptop, which does not have a cd drive? I copied the two disks onto a stick, but get stuck when the load sequence asks me to 'insert disk 2' Does anyone have a work-around? Tru

	I haven't done this before with CR XI, but with other software installations I copy the contents of both CDs onto the same folder and run the installation there. It usually sees the other files since they are in the same folder and completes the installation unprompted.

	Thanks for your quick reply Brian, I tried them on stick, but the second disk has the file name Win32, same as the name of a file on disk 1 I had them side by side, but it did not recognise disk 2. I tried putting all the files from the Win32 folder inside disk 2 into the Win32 folder in disk 1, but it still asked me to insert disk 2. Looks like it is an external drive for me. Thanks again, TruSmith
