re: missing files - mine was hardware Friday, January 28, 2005 at 2:15 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tom Anshultz (1 messages posted) Hi, Just read through the thread after googling it. I had the exact same problem that was described. I burned 1 XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed - and I could not read random files. However, I could never read driver.cab. Well, I threw the CD into my trusty Mac and copied it to a folder. The Mac read everything except driver.cab. So, I went back and burned a new copy - limiting the burner to 8X. Now the Mac could read everything, but I was still getting random read errors on the PC, and it still always included driver.cab. Then I moved the superdrive from the Mac over to the PC and walla, everything installed just fine. No read errors at all. So, I'm at the point where I'm thinking I need to spend a bit more money for a decent burner for my PC. I'll probably go out and get the same OEM brand that apple chucked into the Mac and be happy! Good luck to all of you with similar problems. Written in response to: re: missing files (Joel Thayer: Thursday, January 20, 2005 at 5:30 am) Responses to this message: What XP version?
