Ok, so I have this laptop. It comes with a Windows XP Pro license. No disk. On the C: drive, there is an i386 folder containing the installation files. I want to to make an installation CD from it.

Here's what I did:

Made a copy of the folder.
Slipstreamed SP2 onto it.
Made a CD image with the files and a proper boot sector.
Burned the CD.

Here's what I got:

A bootable Windows XP installation CD. It loads up fine, until... When it is supposed to start loading all the different drivers (you know, before you get to partition the harddrive) it instead tells me to insert the floppy disk, "Windows XP Professional CD-ROM", into drive A:. The CD/floppy thing is nothing we haven't seen before, but how can I solve the other problem?

I figure that either 1) some files are missing from the CD, or 2) it looks for the files in the wrong place.

Help much appreciated.

2.Next Try a book disk and copy those files onto it.
