Network Deployment H-E-double-Hockey-Sticks!

I have been trying for over a week now to get a Network deployment built for my Inventor Professional 2010. I go through the countless screens to configure the deployment like I want it, however when I hit the 'GO' button everything seems to work smooth. The first disk swap comes up (there are six DVD's in the pack!) and the deployment keeps on going. The second disk change comes up and that's when the trouble begins. for some reason it won't continue! I've made 2 attempts using what should be the default method and I've experienced failure on both occasions.

I then decided that maybe there was something amiss in the creation, like it can't read the disk or something stupid like that. (I don't know why because when I installed it to my laptop in a standalone setting everything went smooth. NOTE: I was using the EXACT same disks that I'm using now.) I've taken the time to copy all the contents of all SIX DVD's to the network thinking that once done I won't have to swap disks and I can just let the deployment build on it's own. That worked worse! I'm getting some stupid error like it can't copy something out of the EULA folder.

Now I'm attempting to copy the stuff I already copied to the local C: drive. It's only 15+ GB of data, so that should only take an hour or so to complete. (since computer time is counted in Microsoft minutes, which don't translate into actual minutes.) I'm pretty much done with this project for the day.

I did finally get my Vault Manufacturing (formly known as Productstream) I'm having an identy crisis!
