SYMPTOMS
When you install additional drivers from the Microsoft Developers Network
(MSDN) Winter CD-ROM, the following message may appear:
Please insert the disk labeled "Windows NT Setup CD-ROM disk" into:
<drive>:
CAUSE
This message appears even though the correct path to the installation files has been specified and the CD is in the drive. The MSDN Winter 1994
CD contains the installation files for Windows NT in the following
directories:
<ROOT>\WINNT\USALL\ALPHA
\DRVLIB
\I386
\MIPS
In addition to those directories, the USALL directory also contains two
files, SETUP.TXT and DISK2. DISK2 is the file that Setup uses to determine
that it has the correct media. Setup expects DISK2 to be in the root
directory of the drive the Windows NT installation files are on. If it does not find it there, it will not know it has the correct CD and
continues to prompt for it.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Use the SUBST command to substitute a drive letter for the USALL
directory. For example:
SUBST X: F:\WINNT\USALL. Then install from the SUBST drive.
- Share the USALL directory in File Manager, connect to it so it is the
root of a network drive, and then install from the network drive.
