I reformatted my computer last night. It was going great
until about 3/4 of the way through the installation of
Windows XP, a box popped up saying I need to put
the "Service Pack 1" CD in. However, on the installation
CD I have, Service Pack 1 is included (states this on the
CD and the box). The box that pops up tries to direct me
to "D:\i386" but when I push OK, nothing happens. So I
cancel out of the box and now I'm without things like
Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, System Tools, etc. It
seems like only half of the files got installed on my
computer. Is there another directory I should be typing
in the box or does anyone have any suggestions on how to
resolve this to make sure I have the full installation?
Thanks!
 
Justin, best bet is to start over fresh. You can use the XP CD to format
the drive and choose new install.
You could go into the Bios and select Default or Optimal settings and
disable Virus warning.
