loxs Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 All i have on the disc is the i386 folder thought thats all you need ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) You need to make sure the following files are located in the root of the CD/DVD:Win2000 Pro:CDROM_IP.5CDROM_NT.5CDROMSP?.TSTYou could have multiple versions of the CDROMSP?.TST file, depending on what service pack it came with by default. For example, CDROMSP1.TST, CDROMSP2.TST, etc. They all have to be on the root of the disc. You could also try reading the guide from the link below. It will explain what files are needed on the root of the disc.http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ Edited July 8, 2005 by Jito463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Anyone know how to get rid of the "press any key to boot from cd" thing so it just runs...?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Not advised...if you deleted it, everytime the system starts with the CD in the drive, it will boot to setup, and since the CD has to be in the drive for the second part of setup, it will never get there since it will go back into txtmode setup (the blue screens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
