Personally can't test these MSI errors since it rarely shows up nowadays. o_O
This is intended for XP SP3.


Ideas for burned media:
(1)
When the 'switch cd' prompt comes up, wait for the disc to spin down. Light goes off. Wait a few seconds.

Open explorer. Use the right-click + eject on that drive. Put in new disc. Give it a few seconds. Hit go.

(2)
If you have two drives, then put CD1 into drive1 (drive with lowest letter). Put the rest of CD* into drive2.


Ideas for virtual media:
(1)
Daemon tools can give silent 'corrupted' media states at random sectors. Pretty rare but it happens to me.
Try another software like 'Virtual CloneDrive' when those problems occur.

(2)
Explorer.exe or Anti-virus or Firewall can lock some files on the CD drives. And viciously holds on to them well after they aren't needed.

Get 'unlocker assistant' and 'Right-click + Unlocker' on the CD drive. Select everything that shows up and 'Unlock all'. That saved me a few times, especially when copying/renaming/deleting 16-bit DOS executables.
