re: missing files Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 7:03 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jamie (2 messages posted) Here is my scenario. Same issue, some files couldn't copy from CD to harddrive for installation. (many of the same ones listed above in other posts) I took a diskette to another windows XP machine, and copied the final expanded version of these files from that working machine to the diskette. Once the installing machine finished copying the rest of the files, I booted up on a boot diskette, copied those files to the appropriate directories, then rebooted without diskette and continued with the installation. That seemed to work, although I have not had the xp opsys running very long to know if any problems will popup. The only files I couldnt find were the utopia*.wav files, but hey, who needs those? :) So far so good, hopefully that helps anyone that might be in the same boat.
