I386\NT5INF.CAT catalog file not to be found during Upgrade

[John]

I upgraded the existing NT 4.0 server to Windows 2000 and
after upgrading during the final process, I think it is
asking for SP3 cdrom. I downloaded SP3 and extracted to
folder. But, When I place the cdrom and point it to i386
folder, it does not find this NT5INF.CAT file. I do not
have the original CD rom from Microsoft in my Technet to
use and probably that may be able to run it, but how can I
go about solving this issue.

Usually caused by a noncompliant CD-Rom drive.

But, this is an IBM eServer which should be compliant
correct? As, I never found any message that came up
stating non-compliant during the HCL checklist through
IBMs upgrade express CD.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info, it was quick and also it was
informative to know these things. I tried the first step
of using SHIFT + F10 and then going into drivers folder to
rename the cdudf.sys cdudf.old. But, I could not find this
driver at all for me to rename. Could this driver be
copied on from a floppy disk to this location? And, if so
where I can find this driver in Microsoft site or
elsewhere?

If you don't have Adaptec DirectCD, then I don't think the article applies.
