During the copying process of windows XP setup I'm getting error as below ;

" The file winntbbu.dll wasn't copied correctly. The file setup placed on your harddrive isn't a valid Windows XP image. If you are installing from CD, there may be a problem with the XP CD. "

Actually i have changed the bootup image using the file winntbbu.dll. after that i did makecab winntbbu.dll and copied the cab file to 1386 folder and deleted the

winntbbu.dll from 1386 folder.

Pls help me out

download modifype from http://unattended.msfn.org via commandline type

<path to modifype>\modifype.exe winntbbu.dll -c

make sure both are in the same folder

if all goes well u should get a message saying "have a nice day"

pls include the download link to download that file, i cudn't find the link to download that file from unattended.msfn.org

here is a hint why dont u read the guide?

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=227413

are u sure that u have to cab the file?

in my XP sp2 it is not and i did get the same error when i followed AaronXp's unattended guide, saying i should cab the file. i checked the orig. cd and there it is placed as normal dll file!

i'm using localized german xp, mayb its different there, allthough i don't think that.

sneaky

doesnt the guide i made tell u to cab it?

MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED. I DID MODIFYPE AND DID THE CAB AFTER THAT I COPIED TO 1386 FOLDER IT'S WORKING WITHOUT ERROR

THANKS FOR EVERYBODY

i do know that u are very happy but no need to shout..

question, didn't u read in the guide to modifype and compress it?

Have the same problem like sneakyghost... maybe the german version is a little bit other. The winntbbu is original not commpressed on CD. I have tried compressed(*.dl_) and uncommpressed (*.dll), it doesnt work for me. Must i patch also other files or what can i do ?

STEP 1

use the search feature to look for winntbu.dll and winntbbu.dl_ in your U.A. I386 folder (you should know what that is already by now)

MOVE the file or both files to a safe location.

download one of my pre-made winntbbu.dl_. Try that first.

it is works u must have done something wrong.

did u modifype the winntbbu.dll after u edited the 103 string?

Thank you, Astalavista

I tried your file - it runs fine. Must have the patched file the same size as the orginal file ? Can i re-edit your file (change messages to german...)? I have modified the file with modifype (color-changingpack)....with the cmd -script

Now it runs really, and with my own bitmap without error...i have use the modifype -c option and the winntbbu.dll now runs uncompressed like the file on the original cd

Another satisfied customer... a great deal of credit goes to MCT for helping me out.

have u tried to install xp using the winntbb.dl_ only without the winntbbu.dll in the same i386 folder?

the compress version is better for me

have try it, it runs with or without compression !

compression good.... uncompress bad
