[RESOLVED] Can't create W2k3 CD

[JMB74]

Hi,

I have to create a Windows 2003 std x32 CD including SP2.

So I created on hdd a folder S:\W2k3.

I copied the OEM Windows 2003 std (with SP1) CD to the S:\W2k3 folder.

I created on hdd a folder S:\Win2k3_SP2, and extract into the w2k3 sp2 from Microsoft download center.

After launching nlite V1.4.9.1, when trying to browse the S:\W2k3 folder I get "Make sure that the selected folder or drive contains the "i386" or "amd64" directory...".

The S:\W2k3 folder contains a i386 subfolder.

I tried to do it by selecting directly the CD drive with the W2k3 CD inside with same results.

So why nlite doesn't seem to find the requiered folders ?

Thank's.

Regards.

Fred.

Sometimes antivirus cause those problems (then excluding the folder or disabling the AV should solve the problem).

Hi,

I tried with adding exceptions to Nod32 antivirus, with no results.

I tried with de-activating Nod32, with no more results.

Thank's.

Things to try:

Use a more recognized drive (Like the c:)

Copy ALL files and folders. nLite needs the ident files from the root of the cd too.

Make sure your source is clean, unmodified AND orginal!

Hi, thank's for this info.

In fact the first Windows CD I used is named "Microsoft Windows 2003 OEM system builder" (pre-installed OS).

The second Windows CD I used is named "Microsoft Windows 2003 server OEM std edition".

So I copied the second CD on hdd, and now nLite find the folder.

Regards.

Fred.
