UHCD.SYS file in the Windows 98 operating system. To avoid this problem, you
should update the UHCD.SYS file from v4.10.1998 to v4.10.2000. This update
is available from the following web site:

appear. Do not interrupt the installation if the PC appears to be taking too
much time to complete the installation.
