i am doing the following command and i get an error saying "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD. " Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD. is there a way to stop it from checking the version or is there somwhere i can download it from ? thanks

i cannot reboot lol after first boot it will not go back into windows no matter what i do even if i dont install the dirvers

the gainward geforce 7900GTX golden sample 512mb is a pcie video card and the harddrive is sata i dont think there is a problem with the drive as it installs windows fine and runs on first boot fine same with the graphics card however do i need to install something that might be stoping my 2x 7900gtx in sli mode from allowing windows to boot

it just stops with a black screen just beofore the boot logo comes up if i goto F8 then press boot with last known good configuration it stops at a black screen before the logo comes up if i goto start normally it stops on that screen the timer counting down stops at that number and it just sits there if i goto safe mode it gets to mup.dll or something and stops by stops i mean that the h/d stops making sounds the cpu fan stops becouse it only starts when the chip is under load which makes me think that it just isnt doing anything i am shure it is a windows problem or a setting on the mainboard i just cant figure out what i have read the manuals but cannot see what i have dune wrong

I am having a problem with my new computer specs are as follows DFI nforce4 expert venus motherboard amd 4400+x2 64bit chip 2gb PQI turbo ddr duel channel ram 74gb western digital raptor sata gainward geforce 7900GTX golden sample 512mb the problem i am having is i install windows and it installs fine on first boot it starts fine and also runs fine however after i reboot after the first boot it does not start windows it halts before the windows xp boot logo i have tried installing all the drivers before i reboot i have tried installing half of them and i have tried non of them and i am always getting the same problem can someone please tell me what i can do to rectify this problem thanks in advance

Hey just wondering if anyone knows how i would go about controling a linux based machine from windows xp pro. I plan on buying a cpu second hand and wanted to have it for like a gaming server / file server for when i have lans and for my house. I do not wish to have a monitor or keyboard or mouse ect just the basic cpu connected to my computer via a network connection. Does this sound possible and if so can anyone please give me any info that they can? Also is there a way to bypass the keyboard cheak in the bios? I have never tryed that before so i dont know if it can be dune and as i am at work ai cannot cheak right now in my bios. Any help would be great. Thank you.

ok everyting is fine until i press 3 to make it install windows 2003 server it starts the txt setup and starts to load raid ect like it normally does then i get a msg PLEASE INSERT THE DISC LABELED Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition CD-ROM Into Drive A:\ * Press Enter When Ready

is it possible to run a dos command that will make a box come up that looks like the error msg boxes not an error but i want it to say something like Hi and welcome to Windows

i have a beta copy of dos 7.0 did it go final ?

i have dune it so the root looks like BOOT Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #1 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #2 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #3 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #4 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #5 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #6 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #7 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #8 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #9 Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #10 boot98se.IMA now the cd rome is e:\ and i can goto disk 1 and setup however it asks me to insert disk labeled Microsoft Windows For Workgroups Disk #2 into drive e:\ and then it waits there and i cannot tell it where to find the files if anyone can help thnx alot btw i found out hwy XP and 2003 were not installing it was coz of a couple of name problems i had XPPROSP1 as a name and it would only let me use 4 letters

hrm i edited the .dat files they way the site told me to as far as i can tell i edited them the write way still dont know why it is not installing i mean i have replaced all the .dat files again using the guide and still no luck this time i did it very slowly and cheaked everything and no go

overright i opened them in there folders after i sorted them all out and then jsut opened the files edit them and save them

-b\XPCD\loader.bin <- that is for discemu menu -b\XPCD\BOOT\loader.bin <- that was for cdshell but both menus seem to work i dont think the problem is there

the .dat files are in the root of the CD one other thing is the windows 98 boot disk works on both menus i duno if that helps but it shows that the menus do work i duno what it is stuffing up opn me if the batchfile i used to run cdimage.exe looks like the following will that effect it ? coz it removes all attributes

the menu is working fine i mean i even tried a ver with diskemu both goto where u tell it 1 - goes to windows sp1 then press 1 again to install regular and it sez the error on both menus i cheaked the .dat files they are correct in the cdshell.ini and in the discemu batch and then i opened the dat files in hex editor and cheaked them they looked fine all linked up right then txtsetup.sif and hexed setupldr.bin and they seemed fine i duno what the probelm is i mean i did alot of modding on windows XP in order to fit it and 2003 server onto 1 700mb cd but i didnt really touch 2003 and that doesnt workj eather givees me the same error

hrm as i siad on my last msg in the things i have tried and all of them wher the only fixes i found on this site i have tried goodgle but got back sites in chineese i think and the links to the forums on this site i have already been on

i ahve replaced the .dat files with ones i mad from the orifinal cds i have burned it with both nero and fireburner and no luck it keeps giving me CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code:5 no matter what i try i have cheaked all the hex links to the boot folders for windows xp and server exct they are all right i have deleted the 3 files from the boot folders i am running the menu form \BOOT\ on the root of the cd newest ver of cdshell too

lol there not there now thnx to whoever removed them was very tired when i posted that XPCD- --BOOT --SSVR2K3A (Regular Setup Boot files folder for server 2003 standard) --SSVR2K3B (Unattended Setup Boot files folder for server 2003 standard) --VOL1A (Regular Setup Boot files folder for XP pro sp1 oem standard) --VOL1B (Unattended Setup Boot files folder for XP pro sp1 oem standard) --VOL2A (Regular Setup Boot files folder for XP pro sp1standard) --VOL2B (Unattended Setup Boot files folder for XP pro sp1 standard) --XPPro ---i386 ---$OEM$ --XPProCorp ---i386 ---$OEM$ --SServer ---i386 ---$OEM$ --BOOT1.DAT -(OEM XP pro sp1 boot file for regular) --BOOT2.DAT -(OEM XP pro sp1 boot file for unattened) --BOOT2A.DAT -(normal XP pro sp1 boot file for regular) --BOOT2B.DAT -(normal XP pro sp1 boot file for unattended) --BOOTSSA.DAT -(normal 2003 server boot file for regular) --BOOTSSB.DAT -(normal 2003 server boot file for unattended) --README.HTM --SPNOTES.HTM --WIN51 --WIN511C --WIN511C.SP1 --WIN511P --WIN511P.SP1 if you have any questions please ask also do you have to tell cdimage.exe to make them all capitals ? coz it keeps making them capitals for every file and every folder

didnt work any ideas ??

**** it i tihnk i know whats wrong BOOTSSb.dat is the boot files in the files in hex it is a small b or a ect and in the cdshell.ini and the cdimage.exe made it all capitals with my programs so i am ganna no through and change then all and try that

ok rdy and going with my multi-cd howerver my cdshell.ini menu works to a point the image comes up then the menu and then i go through to the os and non of them work windows 2003 reg and unattended and windows XP sp1a and XP sp1a corp reg and unattended vers for them and i dont know why it sez cannot boot from cd code 5 when i try to run the setup using the boot1.dat system

thnx sorta did that well i messed with the cab n e way lol umm i ahve dune the windows XP cab but now i wanna do the 2003 cab too is it possible ? i used the guide on here to reduce it to 185mb i didnt actually do that much but was wondering if the batch files to remove them all works on 2003 server

ok i have used goshs reduce size guide and dune it however i am about 50mb over now only 50 i was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of windows XP pros driver.cab and also server 2003 driver.cab there are 2 XP vers and 1 server ver on there so i figure if i can take even 20 mb out of each then i might be in luck anyone know if it is possible to reduce the size ? even if it means removing the os wont have drivers for other pplz stuff the setup on each os is linked to a CD 2 with all my drivers on it thnx for any help
