sound files missing in installation cd - HELP!

[aparna_aparna]

Hello all,

I formatted my PC and tried to do an install of Win XP. But during the install, the files soundrec.chm, sounds.chm, sound.drv, soundrec.hlp were missing. I still ignored them and continued with the installation, and now the installation is complete.

The CD does not seem to have those files. So what can I do about this now.. where can I download those files? How should I go about it?

Kindly please help me on the this!!

Many thanks in advance.

The problem is that the optical drive couldn't read those files on cd because it is scratched.

See if you can copy the i386 folder from the cd over to your pc. If you can, use nlite to make a bootable cd of your xp. For more info on nlite, see here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=28005

The files are missing from the boot CD as well... Please tell me how I should proceed now.. Is there any other way that I can download those missing files from anywhere else?? Or any other way?

Please help!

Is the CD actually scratched? Sometimes the smallest of particles or smudge on either the CD or the drive's lens can prevent proper read from occurring. Usually in those cases you can polish the under-surface with a smooth cloth or use compressed air towards the inside of your CD/DVD drive and allow successful read.

Also if you Google most .DLL files on Google, it provides a download link in last-resort situations. Try copying the contents of the CD to your HDD and using nLite to create a new bootable ISO.
