If you wish to speed up the usage of the DVD(s) to pass to others for installation or minimize the risk of DVD drive errors stalling or aborting the installation process, you may copy the contents of the DVD(s) to a local hard disk or external drive before beginning the installation. The entire contents of the disk may be copied using Windows file copy tools, you do not need to copy the disk as an ISO then mount it. To begin the installation after copying, locate the Autorun.exe file in the root folder and double click it to launch the installer.
