July 17, 200719 yr You didn't slipstream your service pack properly. You need to include WIN51, WIN51IP and WIN51IP.SP2 on the root of your cd.

July 17, 200719 yr Author you have a prob with cd idents, check txtsetup.sif-goshi can not find this file on my windows cd? is this the problem?/if it is, where can i get it and where does it belong?
July 17, 200719 yr Author thank you both for your responses by the way Appreciaite your efforts in helping me!
July 17, 200719 yr Hmm.. not sure then. Did you slipstream it by hand? You could try using nlite instead. If you haven't tried it, it's something you really should see. www.nliteos.com
July 17, 200719 yr ...not much to add, but I love the picture with the CD crammed into the floppy slot.It can be hard to keep a sense of humor some times when dealing with issues like this.The txtsetup.sif file should be in the i386 folder of your windows CD...at least it is on mine...
July 17, 200719 yr cd's fit just fine in the 5 1/4" floppy drives, you can even close the door sometimes, no cramming required. Don't read very well though and can get very scratched. What else did you include/remove for the cd when you created it with nLite?
July 17, 200719 yr Your CD drive may be bad or have bad habits. Some CD drives like to suddenly spin down and not spin back up!
July 18, 200719 yr Author Your CD drive may be bad or have bad habits. Some CD drives like to suddenly spin down and not spin back up!I wondered this, and i wondered whether it was my jumper settings or something not configured correctly.. bios is picking up both the harddrive and the cdrom, but i wonder whether its a hardware problem. I will try and post how i have the pc configured later to check that it is set up correctly as i no longer think its the cd...
