DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
Also, why would Windows be installing from 2 disks?

Windows XP only has one disc, so why would you need two discs.?

Maybe the drivers disk that Boot Camp creates?

Maybe using that Windows from an OEM discset?
Or maybe using a bot to test the spam filtering of the site before starting to post links to lovely Russian ladies or cheap male enhancement pills or OEM software? (sorry I'm in less good mood today, it's cold, raining, and foggy and it's supposed to be the middle of the summer...) - if there will be a second suspicious post please hit the alert button.
For now, I'll move this to the Boot camp section.

Boot Camp (since Leopard) does not create a driver disk - The driver install is on the Leopard installer disk. So, the question still remains - why 2 disks?
