aresgodofwar Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 tyson, if you install xp, then install sp2 it will work fine. for some reason the a**holes at dell decided to screw us over for any future service packs. i think all avenues have been tried and there is no resolution for this problem. maybe you could call up dell and ask for an xp cd that already has sp2 slipstreamed.

crossoverfreak Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 hii think the solution is to remove the reference to the usbehci.sys file!i know, that's not the ultimate solution, and i also don't exactly know how to do it, but maybe somebody can help me work it out??here is what i found out:the reference file for the text-based installation of windows is called txtsetup.sif and is located in the i386 folderi have scanned through the file before adding sp 2 (i also don't have sp1) and there is no reference to the usbehci file, but after adding sp 2 there are some entrys for this file...i just don't know what to remove exactly, maybe somebody with more knowledge about the syntax etc can help??

aresgodofwar Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 did you use a dell oem windows xp pro cd? if so, what is the P/N at the bottom of the cd? i use P/N 1R594. it doesn't allow me to slipstream SP 2. i have to delete out the hotfixes that were done. then after i slipstream, and try to install, we get the usbehci.sys error.

crossoverfreak Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 nope, have no dell cd i'm sorry. but you should try to scan through txtsetup.sif for usbehci and delete all lines where that filename is in.you don't really need the usbehci driver for the text-based part of the setup, except you use an usb 2.0 drive (cdrom or hd)i cannot guarantee that, though and i don't know if it works... but it should.btw the problem doesn't seem to be the dell cd, because i did not use one and the error occured anyway. also i did not delete any patches etc before slipstreaming sp2.

jpatto Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 I tried that - removed references from the txtsetup.sif file. I also did a search for any file containing usbehci.sys and deleted that reference too. On both occasions it gave me the error "usbohi.sys is corrupt". Guess that doesnt work either.

jpatto Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 I think we have an answer to this stupid problem. Aresgodofwar - I too have the IR594 CD which explains why were having this problem. Check out:http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/bo...essage.id=43165Hopefully Dell will sort something out!!!!!

MHz Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 usbehci.sys needs to be in upper case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrj Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 usbehci.sys needs to be in upper case.MHz:Pls explain what you mean by usbehci.sys must be in upper case. Where? Does this solve "usbehci.sys corrupted" message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Setup does not see usbehci.sys if it is in lowercase. It will complain that it is missing or corrupt. I had this problem some time back and simply renaming the file to uppercase fixes it. Do not ask me why, it just does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatto Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 I tried that before, i changed the file name from usbehci.sl_ to USBEHCI.SL_ and i received the error message "usbehci.sys cannot be found" - is this what your referring to or do i have to extract the file (so it becomes USBEHCI.SYS) first then place it in the i386 directory?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Ensure you call it USBEHCI.SY_ . Not USBEHCI.SL_ . USBEHCI.SL_ does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatto Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Guess this is a Dell CD problem only!!!! I tried what MHz said and it still gave me the usual error (usbehci.sys is corrupt or missing)dammmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aresgodofwar Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 this is actually with any oem cd. they stuck hotfixes in there and that is throwing this process off. i have called dell numerous times asking for an xp sp2 cd only to be told to buy one. therefore i have vowed never to buy anything from dell, or even associated with them. dell = satan of computer industry. from now on, i will build all my computers. and the laptops i buy will come from ibm. hooah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatto Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 After making some time for myself i finally tried the instructions to the link i pointed out in anothers thread with the same problem......All you have to do is copy the NTKRNLMP.EXE from a system that already has SP2 (or i think this can be copied from the sp2 disk/ download but i wasnt sure how to extract or expand NTKRNLMP.PDB.EXE) into your i386 folder (after you have slipstreamed it) - when asked to override select yes. The version of the NTKRNLMP.EXE that shoudl be in i386 is 5.1.2600.2180. Burn it and that should be it!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
