After formatting disk, install says it can't find files

[bobcov]

HI,

I'm puzzled. If I create a slipstream disk with HFSLIP it works fine, but if I do the same with nLite, it gets to the point where it finishes the format of the hard drive and then says it cannot find any source of windows files for the setup! Something odd there because it obviously used the setup files from the CD to get to that point. Any ideas what it could be?

Are you missing your cd ident files at the root of the CD??

WIN51

WIN51IS

WINNT.SIF

and so on.

Hi, I have these files in the root on both the nLite CD which stops and the HFSLIP cd which continues through the setup as normal:

WIN51

WIN51IS

WIN51IS.SP2

WINNT.SIF is not in the root of either the HFSLIP CD or the nLite CD.

It's a mystery to me why the message says "Cannot find CD containing" the files when it obviously used the CD to get to that point. It formats the drive and when it is ready to copy to the drive, it says it can't find the very CD which it used up until that point.

The Winnt.sif file is not stored on root of cd/dvd it is stored in i386 folder
