This does puzzle me, i admit. I haven't heard such an error report
before, and I hope we dont get any more

trying a replacement disk would be the obvious solution. It should, of 
course, work normally under Windows 95! must be some combination of
the physical drive in the PC and the copy of the CD

if you can get the Sparc to export the CD, and NFS mount it on the PC, 
you could proceed, but that would be rather roundabout....
