Setup cannot access the CD containing the Windows XP files

Featured Replies

I have copied the content from a original XP ENG SP2 and created a WINNT.SIF and putted it into I386 foolder.

Also created a $OEM$ folder with drivers in it.

Everything goes fine, booting up with the CD. It create a partition and check the C: Drive.

When it tries to copy files to the harddrive it stops and says: "Setup cannot access the CD containing the Windows XP files". Retry with F3 or reboot. I have tried several times.

Here is my data in the WINNT.SIF file.

Did you also copy the win51 files???

No. Where do I get win51 file from?

I think that you also need the "WIN51IP.SP1".

Besides, it can also be a "bad burn", try re-creating the CD using the LOWEST possible write speed your CD burner has.

At first sight your WINNT.SIF file appears correct, the only thing that is "different from standard" I can spot is the ";" ending the OemPnPDriversPath

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\000_chipset;drivers\001_hdd;drivers\002_network;drivers\003_graphics;drivers\004_sound;drivers\005_smbus;"

but cannot say if it can cause the problem :unsure:
