Where to find TAP.exe or TA.exe ?

[veday001]

Dear Techs,

I had some issues in installing windows xp Pro on Dell Optiplex 740.it is shutting down automatically during installation.My understanding is that the error occurs when the OS is switching from real mode to protected mode. The OS is loading the drivers necessary to access the boot drive in protected mode.If the correct PCI driver or other disk device drivers are not in the image, the system will blue-screen. This is exactly happening, it is showing blue screen for fraction of second (not able to write error code) and shuts down. I read many forums and found that The best way to gather all the necessary components is to install Windows XP Pro on the target systems and run TAP.EXE. The next best solution is to use XPe’s CD1 and boot to WinPE and run TAP.EXE or TA.exe. My problem is that i am not able to find location to download tap.exe or ta.exe and instructions to use this exe.If anyone can give some idea to the problem and to the TAP.exe or TA.exe would be great.

Thanks & regards
