txtsetup.oem & txtsetup.sif

[wherbjr35]

Hello forum:

I am having an issue reinstalling Win2ooo Pro. First, the laptop I am using does not have

any peripherals attached. I have an external Iomega USB ZipCD 650 and external 3.5" floppy

drive. After loading and using the recovery console to reformat the harddrive, when trying to

reinstall, the CD drive isnt recognized during setup b/c it is USB. The message then said to "use manufacturer supplied harware support disk. After unsuccessful attempts of tracking that down, I realized that the Win2000 installation had the drivers I needed. So I copied the USB drivers from the disk, along with txtsetup.oem, txtsetup.sif and a few others. Through trial and error, I was able to edit the txtsetup.oem file, but I am stuck at a point where Windows cannot locate txtsetup.sif. First question, does this file need to be on the c: drive (like in /i386 folder), or on the disk with the USB drivers? So again, I searched the install disk and found the *.sif file. However, I have not edited it to match the syntax in the other files yet. My second question is directly related to the txtsetup.sif file. Can I edit this file so that it only references the drivers I need? It

currently has a laundry list of files and folder names. Since I am only concerned about the USB drivers, can I bypass the rest? Below is a summary of the files I am using and mods I've made to the various files. Am I close on this one?

LIST OF FILES ON DISK

TXTSETUP.OEM

TXTSETUP.SIF

USBIOS.INF

USB_IOS.PDR

USBZIP.INF

USBZIP.SYS

TAGFILE.TAG --> this is just an empty txt file with a .TAG extension. It is a file whose

presence allows setup to recognize that the disk is inserted.
