I tried to install Reader 9. Just after the install starts, the command window appears with a title C:\DOS\SETUP and says "To install MS-DOS, Insert Disk 1 in drive A and press CNTRL+ALT+DEL. This will restart your computer and begin the Setup program. Or press ENTER to return to your command prompt."

If I press Enter, the Adobe install simply stops and I am returned to the Windows desktop !!??

My computer is a multiboot setup with XP Vista DOS and Ubuntu, all on seperate partitions. The default system is XP.
