Visual Studio 2005 install Error 1305 [Visual Studio 2005 install Error 1305]

I originally had another install of Visual Studio 2005 - I removed all but the SQL Server that was installed with it and installed VS 2008 offered here.

I decided to finally install XNA GS and it required VS2005 or C# Express.

I tried to install VS 2005 from the Channel8 download. I chose just C# and NET-related utils. I got to where it asked for Disk 2 (my original install long ago was on DVD) and it fails with this message:

Error 1305.Error reading from file f:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\GuiDebug\shortcutCLRDbg32.txt. Verift that the file exists and that you can access it.

I drilled down and the file exists:
Size is listed as "38 bytes (38 bytes)"

When I try to manually open it, Notepad gives:
Cannot open the F:....
Make sure a disk is in the drive you specified.

I then tried to reburn the cd, without exiting the install. I got the same problem. I then downloaded another copy of disk 2. Before burning yet another cd, I did a windiff of the 2 iso's and they diffed as identical. So I did not reburn.

Any idea what is going on? If it is a link - it isn't appearing to 'connect' to whatever it is. Perhaps something is not being installed since I have msvs2008 installed? I never installed this 2005 version download before but I assume it works or there would be many posts :)

After I finish my programming assignment I plan on trying to scrap the install of 2008 :( and redo it all starting with 2005 (just C# and then xna) then 2008 full.

Any other ideas?
