Help install stalls (claims licence issue after missing OEMBIOS.BIN

[jkochchs]

My XP Prfoessional installation on a Dell Latitude blank
hardrive misses/claims it can't install OEMBIOS.BIN
(although it seems to be on the CD), it was installed on
it before, when skipping the OEMBIOS.BIN install, Setup
stalls at the end with error code 0x80070002, cannot
authenticate. The registry edits in the MS solution
document doesn't work as the codes to be deleted in the
solution haven't been generated in the first place.

URGENT HELP needed. Thanks so much!!

Using a mild non-ammonia based household cleaner and a
soft cloth, gently clean your Windows XP CD of any fingerprints,
smudges, lipstick, etc.

Carey,

I tried, no result, no difference. When in safe mode, I
can even see the file oembios.bi_ (same computer, same cd-
drive) and can copy it onto the harddrive.

It just doesn't want to come off the CD in the regular set-
up.

Is there way to work around this? I appreciate a follow
up.

Thanks..... Joachim
