Answare:

I received this error when I had a removable media device on the system

(zip drive?). I was able to get around this by putting a zip cartridge

into the drive. Probably disconnecting the drive would also work. I

think it has something to do with the sizing of the drive, it probably

is seen as zero bytes, then they end up dividing by zero, or some such

nonsense.
