SYMPTOMS
During a Verify mode Setup, Windows 95 may ask for the original
installation disks or CD-ROM in order to copy files that are already
present on the hard disk.
CAUSE
During a Verify mode Setup, Setup deletes a registry key that contains the
list of files that have been installed by Plug and Play. Since the list is
empty, when Windows 95 sets up the computer's hardware, it does not know
the driver files are present and copies them again.
RESOLUTION
Provide the requested installation disks or CD-ROM, or choose to skip the
requested files. If the files must be copied, perform a normal Setup (not
using Verify mode).
