I ran an ISO through VMWare Workstation 4

Can anyone explain the picture i have attached...

Thanks

error.rar

try recopying the file to the location and then reburn it with cdimage.

i recopied the file from the original XP CD and still getting the error?

that's a pretty nasty error. But I would get the file from SP1 as your probally added that to the CD

Actually guess what? It was a corrupt ISO file. I used the cdimage.rar from my other topic and i guess it was not a good iso, because i used the one from msfn's unattended guide and now it is running like a charm i will let you know how it goes once it's finished, and save any problems i run into as an image.

Thanks

I'm formatting a 4GB partition, VMWare is confusing...

I did quick NTFS? Is that okay? Will it affect my virtual install?

Glad to hear it.

Is there any way to speed up this VWare process? Or is it an actual emulation?

Thanks

it's an actual emulation.

It's a PC inside a PC. Has to do all the normal stuff.

OH MY GOD!

Take a look at the screenshots i included Something is f***ing up my CD and i have a feeling it's that %CDROM% Variable

Please Help

Please tell me what i'm doing wrong!? Is the %CDROM% Variable code good?

Thanks

if I had to take a guess, just because I copied that code into a batch file, and then ran it....

it's because you don't ahve WIN51IP.SP1 where it's supposed to be.

Well where's it looking? Right now i have it in the root dir of the CD...

Now that i think of it Would it have to be in the root of C:\ according to the code? But if you look at the Readme at MSFN's Unattended Page i quote:

Create a blank txt file called CD.txt and place this in C:\XPCD. This allows the IF EXIST command to scan all the drive letters specified, then when it finds CD.txt it will set an environment variable of %CDROM% pointing to the correct drive letter.

So what's going on?!

Thanks

put the file on your CD, and make sure it's named correctly.

You can also remove the line for C:\.
