I've created a bootable windows xp cdrom but when it boots it's

seems to boot at first it comes with the blue setup screen

and then it suddenly askes for : Place the windows xp profesional cdrom in drive A and press enter.

Now I'm not gonna try that :-)

does any one know how to solve this

Thx

more details would help.

did you just burn an ISO to CD? what was the name of this ISO?

Or did you manually create your own bootable CD with an xpboot.bin file with a program such as EZ CD 5 / Nero, burning files from an i386 folder patched with corpfiles.zip on your hard drive?

Hello AaronXP

I created manually an bootable cd with xpboot.bin and ezcd 5

don't have corpfiles.zip (can't find them)

i tought all the files i need to boot are already in 386 folder

and that i only needed the xpboot.bin to make it bootable

isn't it ??

DvZ

did you follow the guide carefully at ht*p://www.windowsxp.nu/bootcd/ for EZ CD 5?

If your bootable CD still fails, try doing it in Nero instead

Corpfiles can be found at http://pfialho3.no.sapo.pt/corpfiles.zip

Hello ,

tried Nero aswell

and the CD is booting at first when it reaches the blue setup screen

and after the question if you want to install another raite controller then Microsoft it still asks me to put the Win xp CD in drive A.

I'm totally lost now i followed the exact guide described on the link you gave me.

I think it's missing some files it needs at boot in the 386 folder.

however if i start the setup from win 98 and choose a new install

it copies some files then reboots and it install win xp

why does it install from whitin win 98 and not from boot ??

I am having the same problem and just posted a topic as the search did not return anything. Anyone have any input? For some reason the install script is thinking that XP SP2 is on a CD drive with the letter A:... this is not possible.
