Burned the CD with the "DOS Character set" option in Nero and those files were suddenly visible.<BR /><BR />Martin Mon, 05 Jun 2006 09:55:39 GMT Martin_266 2006-06-05T09:55:39Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/ml370-smartstart-scripted-intsall/m-p/3797123#M53472 Background:<BR />Installing W2K server using Scripting tools on ML370 G3 with an HP 5300 array controller. The array controller/disk setup works great from the floppy; I'm using an UNATTEND.TXT response file to comlpete the OS install.<BR /><BR />My problem:<BR />When the Win2K installation starts copying files, it hangs each time it can't find a music file:<BR /><BR />BACHSB~1.RMI<BR />BEETHO~2.RMI<BR />UTOPIA~1.WAV<BR />etc.<BR /><BR />Of course these files are on the installation CD in the i386 dir:<BR /><BR />BACHSB~1.RM_<BR />BEETHO~2.RM_<BR />UTOPIA~1.WA_<BR /><BR />Setup has no problem finding the other compressed files VGA.DL_ becomes VGA.DLL, for instance.<BR /><BR />I tried deleting references to the music files from LAYOU.inf; that doesn't work.<BR /><BR />Any other workarounds?<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />Martin<BR /><BR /> Tue, 30 May 2006 16:44:45 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/ml370-smartstart-scripted-intsall/m-p/3797123#M53472 Martin_266 2006-05-30T16:44:45Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/ml370-smartstart-scripted-intsall/m-p/3797124#M53473 FWIW I fixed my problem.
