pour ceux et celles qui ne trouveraient pas l´article en question:
During the installation, I´m receiving an error that mentions an " MP2_*.ras" file, or I´m getting a cyclic redundancy check ( or " CRC") error.
Try disabling DMA on your CD-ROM drive. Here is how:
FOR WINDOWS 98/ME USERS:
Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel Double-click the System icon in the System Properties dialog box.
Select the Device Manager tab. Click the + plus sign next to the cd-rom icon.
Double-click the icon for your cd-rom drive.
Click the Settings tab and de-select the DMA check box in the Options panel.
Click Ok twice.
You probably will have to restart your computer after doing this.
FOR WINDOWS 2000/XP USERS:
Click on " Start," then click on Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon in the System Properties dialog box.
Select the Hardware tab, then click on the Device Manager button. Click the + plus sign next to the IDE/ATAPI controllers icon.
Double-click on the first entry labeled " Primary IDE channel."
On the new screen that appears, click on the " Advanced Settings" tab; on that window, look in the " Device 0" section, and change the " Transfer Mode" setting from " DMA if available" to " PIO only."
Click on OK to close the windows, then restart your computer.
We have found that in most cases in which this error occurs and users are unable to manually change their device Transfer Mode, the current CD or DVD ROM drive does not have appropriately updated software ( called " firmware") to run that device. Fortunately, this firmware can be updated free of charge from the manufacturer. Even if your computer was purchased a relatively short while ago, this does not guarantee that you have the latest version of the software that runs your CD drives. Old firmware will not recognize newer varieties of copy protection, and this may be the cause of your CRC error.
You can go to the following websites to check the firmware version you have currently on your drive and match it up with what is listed on these web pages.

Be advised that if you are not sure of how to update your firmware and/or are not sure what kind of drive you have in your system, you will need to consult your system documentation and/or contact the hardware manufacturer. We cannot assist with the installation or troubleshooting of any drivers.
