XP Pro Install - can't find file 'asms'

[Langdon Alger]

I am still trying to install XP Pro, and now I get the message "The file
'asms' on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1 CD is needed. Type the path..."

There is a folder on my install disc D:\i386\asms. Is this what it's
looking for? When I type that in for the path, it doesn't do anything...

Any ideas? I still don't know if this will just get me back to the 34
minute crashing point, but at least it's a different issue...

Thanks.

Thanks, I will give it a shot once I get my hands on a 98SE disc...

Any idea if this is past the 34 minute crash issue, or will I still have
that to deal with???
