I have a workstation without the installation media. I do have the media's I386 saved on the c drive. It seems I integrated SP2 with the data in I386. I copied the contents of a winxp cd to a folder excluding the I386 directory. Then, I copied in the I386 I have on the hard drive to the folder. Afterwards, I burned the folder to a bootable cd. The cd boots, the blue install screen is shown, but a message is displayed.
Please insert disk labeled
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
into the floppy drive
I ask myself, "Huh? Floppy Drive?" Whatever, I download the XP SP2 setup disks from MS and pop them in. I guess this si not what the machine is looking for because it keeps prompting me to insert the media.
So I boot to the setup disks. This time it tells me to insert the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 into the cdrom drive. I insert the cd I made, but it keeps prompting me to insert media.
how can i install xp using the i386 folder? the keycode is not working with other media.
