Please Insert The Windows Xp Service Pack 1 Cd...

[rexhsu]

It's just part structure of my winxp pro nin1 cd.So I listed only files and directories related to my problem.

ROOT

|---<ORG>---<I386>

|---<VOL1> ->six boot disks extracted from ms

|---VOL1.DAT ->bootsector

|---WIN51

|---WIN51IP

|---WIN51IP.SP1

1) replaced i386 with VOL1 in VOL1.DAT (1 place)

2) go to "vol1"

3) replaced i386 with VOL1 in setupldr.bin (4 places)

4) expand txtsetup.si_ txtsetup.sif

5) modify txtsetup.sif,SetupSourcePath = "\ORG\"

6) makecab txtsetup.sif

7) delete txtsetup.sif

8) go to "org\i386" and delete the file txtsetup.sif

9) test

10) textmode goes okay.after restart,it goes to the gui mode of setup,it gives me a prompt - "Please insert the Windows XP Service Pack 1 CD....",if I click the ok,I find the searching path is <my cdrom letter>:\I386 not <my cdrom letter>:\ORG\I386

so that's my problem:

I have modified the SetupSourcePath,why the setup still find files in the <my cdrom letter>:\I386,not my defined.

setupldr.bin should point to ORG and not VOL1 in step 3

and all files and folders in ORG\i386 should be in ORG, no need for the i386 folder

i think maybe the spnotes.htm should be in the root with your WIN51IP.* files

im not using the method so im guessing but its an educated guess

on second thoughts ignore me... i think thisll best be answered by someone who knows the method.. i think what ive just outlined will negate your $OEM$ folder

sorry rexhsu

Anyway,thank you for your reply and educated guess,Numinous!

I solved this problem by the hint of gosh's new nin1 guide.Thanks to gosh for his really cool guides.I learnt a lot thing from his guides.

I copied all the WIN51*.* and moved $OEM$ to the <cdrom letter>:\ORG\,problem solved.

Once I always considered the $OEM$ must be put in the root of CD,yet it isnt true.You can put the $OEM$ in anywhere as long as it is parallel to the I386 directory.
