Guest AAH Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I try to run the setup.exe from the cd ( files were copied from the hd to this cd) It checks drive C: and then the message comes on is "Insert Disk 1" and then click ok to continue or cancell to exit setup. Does it means this cd is no good at all? Any help would be appreciated?
Guest Mike M Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Re: WinMe Setup.exe What happens if you click OK? What files do you have on the CD in the folder containing setup? I've attached a directory listing of the contents of the folder on a Microsoft Retail CD (Ignore folder name). You can also safely ignore the OLS folder. If you continue to have problems give me a ring (you know my number) but not until Wednesday please. -- Mike M AAH <aah@chakcomnet.net> wrote: > I try to run the setup.exe from the cd ( files were copied > from the hd to this cd) > It checks drive C: and then the message comes on is > "Insert Disk 1" and then click ok to continue or cancell > to exit setup. > Does it means this cd is no good at all? > Any help would be appreciated?

Nothing - it gets stuck and same on cancell. Continue to hit OK or Cancell - after few more hits it goes away - or remove the Cd from the drive. The Cd setup is like this:- Folders add-ons autorun cdsample drivers sbsi tools win9x >>>>>> 52 Files including Setup.exe as well It matches your list. Auto Start Files autorun.inf readme.txt setup.exe setuptip.txt Mike Thank you for your quick attention. It is not my original cd which came with the computer. I have Option folder saved on a cd. I will try by restoring a previous rbxxx.cab backup file. > > What files do you have on the CD in the folder containing setup?

Guest Mike M Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Re: WinMe Setup.exe AAH, I can't understand why you were being asked for the next disk. I can only assume the OEM version you have installed spanned two CDs and that the second CD originally contained some OEM specific files, perhaps drivers. Given that the Win9x folder is only around 150MB and a CD can store either 640 or 700 MB of files I don't see why a second CD might have been needed. Did you run the setup.exe that is in your Win9x folder? It looks like after 2 weeks my phone will be back working sometime tomorrow so give me a ring on Wednesday and I'm sure we can easily sort this out. Alternatively e-mail me (mike.maltby@gmail.com) your snail mail address. -- Mike M AAH <aah@chakcomnet.net> wrote: >> What happens if you click OK? > Nothing - it gets stuck and same on cancell. > Continue to hit OK or Cancell - after few more hits > it goes away - or remove the Cd from the drive. > > The Cd setup is like this:- > > Folders > > add-ons > autorun > cdsample > drivers > sbsi > tools > win9x >>>>>> 52 Files including Setup.exe as well > It matches your list. > Auto Start Files > autorun.inf > readme.txt > setup.exe > setuptip.txt > > Mike > Thank you for your quick attention.

Try running setup with the "/is" and "srcpth" switches. You may have to replace "D:\" with the drive letter used by your CD or hard drive. setup /is /srcpth=D:\win9x Ben
