I may be wrong, but I bet that dvd iso at the first or
second thing it does is to tell the machine to look at
the dvd again...which IF you were trying to install
from the hd, isn't physically there! 

So unless you had a dvd player and dvd, it wont
work...just like you have to download and burn a cdrom
to run and install from a cd. Even if you had put it
on one partition to install to another partition, bet
it still trys to find the dvd or cdrom instead of
looking back at the hd partition that has the iso on
it.

Did I mention, 2/23/07 the FCC dropped all cw (AKA Morse code) testing for any class of license as a ham? Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session.
