walpurgisng Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I slipstreamed Windows XP and SP2 using nlite and whenever I boot, then hit any key to boot from cd...., it opens up the screen where u can install third party drivers etc, and then says something to the effect: "Put Windows XP CD in A: and then hit Enter".Am I doing something wrong?It happens when I make an unattended and when I do not check "make unattened".One note, I do not have a floppy drive in my computer, I have my hard drive partioned to C: and D:, my CDroms are E: and F:. I boots from the CD just fine, why is it asking for A:? Please explain what I have to do? Thank you. Yes, before you flame, I know im stupid.
Skyfrog Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I've never seen that before; when you made the bootable CD did you choose Floppy Emulation? You should choose No Emulation if it asks. I've never used nlite so I'm not sure what options it gives you.
walpurgisng Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 Made the iso with Nlite, and did not change any settings. Opened iso image with Nero, and just burned it.
Skyfrog Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I don't know then, maybe it's because you don't have a floppy drive. I don't think I've ever installed XP without one. When you hit Enter does setup continue or does it just keep asking? You might want to post your answer file for everyone to look over (taking out any personal information first of course).
diesel_98a Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 ur missing the files off that should be in that root folder. but i cannot remember the names of them.
walpurgisng Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=24031As quoted and linked to in the nlite forum (which I should have read):"The reson is, that XP Setup search for the following files in the CD Root :WIN51WIN51IPWIN51IP.SP1WIN51IP.SP2"
MCT Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 i dont think u need the .sp1 if u have sp2 tho & these files are all blank.. so use notepad & make them
walpurgisng Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 I would have replied a while ago, but was at class. Everything up and running, without Windows Messenger installed, sweet!
