Hmm. Sounds like your Win2k install CD had SP2 incompletely slipstreamed. Is it a stock CD, or one built from a downloaded image? If you use a multiboot image, for instance, you must put the files in the root/i386 directory and make a new CD. One thing you could try, obviously, is downloading SP2 and unpacking it to a CD. But I probably didn't need to tell you that :) On 8/15/05, Jim Hanak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 14:06:55 -0500 > From: "Jim Hanak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [LIB] How to install to Lib 110ct with a bare HD? > > Rick, > > Whoops!
