Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 To problem 1: open your dosnet.inf and change everything that's on CD2 to CD1, and then make sure you have everything on CD1. (you will need a 99min CD if you don't remove anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik_demon Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) [Directories]d1 = \I386d1 = \cmpnents\tabletpc\I386d1 = \cmpnents\mediactr\I386d1 = \cmpnents\netfx\I386This is wrong.What you are doing here, is creating a directory path.d1 = \i386That means that every line that starts with d1, will copy it's files from the i386 directory.You now get a copy error because you tell setup to copy a file from all four directories.I think your problem is within txtsetup.sifcheck out these lines:[SourceDisksNames.x86]1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i3862 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i3863 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i3864 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i386Maybe you could change this to:[SourceDisksNames.x86]1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i3862 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i3863 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i3864 = "%cdname%","%cdtagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i386I am not quite sure about this so I hope that someone can confirm this.Edit:About problem nr. 3this is what I found in the ref.chm file:AutoPartitionInstalls Windows to the first available partition that has adequate space for a Windows installation and does not already contain an installed version of Windows.Syntax AutoPartition = 1 Value 1Example AutoPartition = 1Comments: Either omit the AutoPartition entry from your answer file or set the value of AutoPartition to 1. If AutoPartition = 1, the /tempdrive command-line option of Winnt32.exe is ignored during Setup. If you do not set the value, text-mode Setup installs Windows on the partition where $WIN_NT$.~LS is located.I never knew this either I think that you should delete this line and use /tempfile to decide on which drive you want to install.
