I am trying to deploy an OEM version (Dell) of Windows XP SP2 from a Windows
2000 SP4 RIS server without any luck. I am able to deploy Windows 2000
Professional with no problem.

I created the base image of the OEM Windows XP SP2 CD that came with our
Dell Optiplex GX280 on the RIS server through the "Remote Install" tab. I
followed the instructions in both of these Microsoft KB articles, "How to add
a third-party OEM network adapter to a RIS installation" and "Unable to
Create Windows 2000 Server Image on RIS Server". I'm able to push F12 on the
GX280, provide the username and password, and in the list of images I can
install, it does list the base image I created. A couple seconds into the
text based setup, when it looks like its loadin drivers, I get the following
error:

File iastor.sys caused an unexpected error (21) at line 3540 in
d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\setup.c.

My only option is to hit a key to continue and reboot.

Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help because I have spent endless
hours researching and trying to resolve this problem without solution.

Thanks,
Mark
