RE: W2K Pro Install

[Amer Karim]

I’ve come across the same problem – approx. half the installs I’ve done.  Happens on both IDE and SCSI systems.  One workaround I’ve tried, and it doesn’t work all the time, is to copy the install folder on to the harddrive (after booting to dos from floppy w/ appropriate scsi drivers).  However, in all cases that I’ve dealt with, if you just continue the install by skipping the file, and then install the service pack immediately after installation is complete, your system will work fine.  The consistent culprit that I’ve come across (though sometimes others will show up) is the netlogon.dll file – and it’s not the CD, since that’s what I thought it was the first time I experienced; I’ve had the same problem with different, brand new, fresh out of the wrapper CD’s.  Nor does it seem to be H/W specific either.   HTH   Regards, Amer Karim Nautilis Information Systems Pager: 604-645-7729 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Frede Hundewadt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: September 27, 2001 12:55 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: W2K Pro Install   Could be a scsi driver error or a scsi controller error     Venlig hilsen / Best Regards Frede Hundewadt Midtjysk Alarm & Sikring Midtjysk Computer Support T/F 70 255 112 / 70 265 112 M 40 17 2345 -----Original Message----- From: Network Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 9:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: W2K Pro Install Goodmorning All,   I've been working on installing W2K Pro on a test box and I continually receive an error during the setup process.   I am able to get to the portion of the CD install where it begins copying files to the hard drive.  However, each time at about 17% or 18% of the process I receive an error that a particular file cannot be copied to the hard drive.  I can hit retry and the same message reappears.  The message further states that there is something wrong with the CD and if the error persists to call MS Support.   The test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives running off of an Adaptec 2940UW controller.  I have swapped all of the parts out:  SCSI cables, IDE cable for the CD, the actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of W2K Professional on CD.   I really don't want to call MS.  Anyone have any suggestions?   TIA   Ron Want to unsub?
