ntfs.sys not found error

[olivex]

I nlited Ryan's SP3 1.03 to my DELL SP3 CD, weird that during text install it says 'ntfs.sys not found'. The file is actually there but name in lower case. This is weird to me 1) the installation can't recongnize the file with lower case name 2) Ryan's pack leave all files with lower case names 3) Nlite put them like they are.

Now how can I fix this?

olivex, please, in the future post your problems in only one thread. I DLed an SP3 1.0.3 file from RyanVM (here) and extracted it, but it does not have ntfs.sys in it. So, what file did you DL (provide link?) If the file is a 7z extension, just extract it, change the name to capitals and then compress it into a .7z again.

This is the first time I have heard that any file had to be in all capitals - very strange. Do you have this file in your original CD and if so, is it all caps? I have one in my XP x64 and it is all caps.

As a reminder, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Please report when you have a solution, so others can benefit. Enjoy, John.

I think I only posted my problem in this only thread.

Please check again in your Ryan Sp3 1.03 DL if ntfs.sys is there. If not, your DL is definitely a wrong one. Ask yourself what file you DL (don't provide link as it's a wrong one).

Try yourself if you can change a file name from lower case to capital easily. If yes post how so others can benefit. My solution, which may be stupid, I had to change the file name to something else (whatever is different than the original), than change it back to capitalized. If you simply change from lower case to capital, it won't work. Windows is so smart to find you haven't actually changed the file name and it won;t accept only the case change.

if it is your first time you've heard a file had to be in all capitals, take more look in this forum first.

I always start nlite with fresh copy and in one session and I don't integrate SP--It's already there. I only integrated Ryan's 1.03.

I had the solution of changing that 'non-existing' ntfs.sys to capitals but my post is more to know why it's like this.
