Your guess seemed to be right. After deinstalling Avira AntiVir the TXTSETUP.SIF wasn't corrupted any more. I haven't tried to install it until now but I'll do this as soon as I got some time for it.EDIT: Moep ... this was not the problem :-( Perhaps I can try it again with a normal XP version and/or an english one.

I don't have any English version of Windows. Perhaps my SysAdmin at work has an English one. I have copied the CD onto HD (this was my first guess). This seems not to be the problem.

So, first try was to deactivate the Avira AntiVir Guard and do the procedure, but the file was corrupt again. Repairing the txtsetup.sif like jaclaze said makes the things run. Now I could insall XP appropriate. After this I tried to preperate the stick with the XP-machine, but the txtsetup.sif got also corrupted. On both machines Avira AntiVir is installed. Maybe this is a problem. I can try it again with uninstalled Avira AntiVir tomorrow evening. When I visit my parents in some weeks I also could test it again with a normal WinXP (Systembuilder). Thanks alot for your help guys, your HarryKane

Yeah, I will try it in the evening again. I have another machine with XP, and I will also check if perhaps Avira AntiVir is causing trouble.

This is the one I found in I386/ on the CD TXTSETUP.zip

This is my txtsetup.sif created on my USB-stick: TXTSETUP.zip

Ok, here it is ... list.zip

Hi, i'm not sure if this the right place to put my question, or if i should open a new thread. I also admit, that didn't read much of the thread, so please forgive me if I missed the solution (but the search didn't show me any usable for my problem). Ok, I used WinSetFromUSB under Vista HPx64 and prepared my 1GB UBS-stick with the WinXP recovery CD delivered with my DELL Mini 12. Every thing seems fine. Booting with USB, getting through the first some boot menus (First part of XP Home, ... ) but then it complaines Line 22162 of INF-file \txtsetup.sif has an error (analogously translated from german) In this line I found: ps2 = “Mÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ...." I tried 3 times formating and reinstalling the USB-stick. With everytime the same outcome ... Can someone explaine/help? Thanks, HarryKane
