usb multiboot 10 xp install

[wickedss]

Hi...I used USB Multiboot 10 and formated a usb hdd. When installing on a panasonic toughbook cf-18 I chose 1. Begin TXT Mode Setup Windows XP. It goes thru all the steps up to formating the drive. The usb hdd is listed as drive c: so I choose to install on D: (the laptops hdd) but after it formats...I get this message:

"The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing:

Value 0 on the line in section [sourceDisksFiles] with key "binifix4.cmd."

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3."

To create the usb disk I used My original XP Pro disc completely untouched.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edit...I just tried the solution in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/fix-sif-corrupt-...hl=binifix4.cmd and i get an error that line 21108 is invalid.

Can you zip and attach with your next reply txtsetup.sif?

[wickedss]

Thank you so much for your help. Here is the file it is from the root directory. It is also as it was when usb multiboot created it.

Oh and something I forgot to mention in my op is that the windows disc I used is pre-sp1. Don't know if that matters but there it is.

TXTSETUP.zip

Hi...I used USB Multiboot 10 and formated a usb hdd...

When preparing the USB disk with USB_multiboot did you select disk type- FIXED?

[wickedss]

i don't remember that option. I think it gave me usb stick and usb hdd

I used usb hdd.

The option is:

0) Change Drive Type, USB-stick OR USB-Harddisk, currently [uSB-stick]

Must be set to USB-Harddisk, using option 0 to change it.

ok..yes I tried both ways. the first time I used harddisk and the second time i used stick. right now i am back at harddisk

Use USB-Harddisk, change in txtsetup.sif binifix4.cmd and the other few around to from 100 to 1 as mentioned in the other topic.

If no luck- slipstream SP2 at least, or even SP3 or use a source with SP2/3.

BTW- did you have to use SP2/3 or just harddisk type and changing 100 to 1?

[wickedss]

I had no service packs, basically cuz i was too lazy to slipstream them in, and just did the HDD option and changed the 3 100s to 1s. and it worked perfectly thanks again.
