Run-time error R6003-integer divide by 0

[ladybug75]

I hope I am not repeating a thread that's already been posted, but this is really bugging me...

I built my own computer and have successfully installed the boot disk. When I go to D:\Setup (to install Windows), it initializes, but when it gets to "scanning system registry" it hangs up on Run-Time error R6003-integer divide by zero.

Anybody know what could be causing this problem and how to fix it?

Thanks

OK, found the problem, it was really quite simple actually (how typical). When I created the DOS partition it screwed up somehow. I deleted it and re-created it today, formatted the hard drive and it worked like a charm. Whew!
