A lot of people in this forum is asking why windows (2000, XP, 2003, etc...) ask to insert the CD after the first reboot ( he asking it for every files ), even if you type the correct adress, he keep asking for the CD ( pretty annoying ) !! I wish this topic served those people ( including me, i'm stuck with 2003 asking for it ) !!

I don't know if it need to modified a file, file missing or something else !

Taking me for exemple: windows XP and 2000 Pro, installation are perfect, no problem, but windows 2003 is asking for the CD, why he's asking if i use the same procedure for XP and 2000 ?

This one is my problem but can also help other people with similar error !!!!

Well, thanks to everyone who sudmit, looking for a nice topic !!!!

Thanks

My suggestion: keep the problem (windows 2003) at the original, unchanged \I386 folder.

I remember that I had to modify setupldr.bin for I386 (capital) and i386 (lower case) in order to make it work for Windows 2003 Server french version...

thanks for the replie guys !!!

Xoben, what do you mean by keeping it original ? Do you mean to ex: easyboot\disk1\I386 ( having all the windows 2003 in the CD Root, even if there's a XP, 2000, 98, me, etc... OS ? ) ???

Make me confuse, thanks !!!

Windows 2003: \disk1\I386
Windows XP: \disk1\xpen\I386
Windows 2000: \disk1\w2kp\I386

This is becouse your image is more than 2GB and you run it with Virtual PC. Burn DVD and it will work.

I had a problem during installation of Windows XP Professional /SP2.
I had to enter right path several times (D:\I386 to replace with D:\xpen\I386).
Should I replace in TXTSETUP.SIF  ´\xpen´ with ´\xpen\I386´ or shoula I do something else.
Everything else works fine.

I did it! I thought that I put Win.*. files but I didn't!
IT WORKS
