Answare:
I received this error when I had a removable media device on the system
(zip drive?). I was able to get around this by putting a zip cartridge
into the drive. Probably disconnecting the drive would also work. I
think it has something to do with the sizing of the drive, it probably
is seen as zero bytes, then they end up dividing by zero, or some such
nonsense.
