Setup File Structure Corrupt error!

[Guest]

I upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro (Corporate version) yesterday. I had a problem with the update to Roxio Easy CD Creator when I installed the latest drives update - both my CD-RW and DVD-Ram drives disappeared. Tried to do a repair Install of XP and when Windows XP Pro booted to the Setup Screen after the DOS File Copy mode (Phase 0?) I got an error that said the Setup Files Structure was corrupt during phase 0! Setup would not continue. Do I need to get another copy of the XP CD from my Network Admin or is there a work around I can do

You can go out and purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP Pro and perform a
"repair install". Microsoft never released a "Corporate Version" of Windows XP.

Carey,

Thanks for the response.

Why does everyone assume that if one uses the wrong terminology (Corporate
Edition), that they are trying to install a pirated version of software?
The version I am using is the version that "Large" Companies buy so that
their users don't have to go throught the "activation" process. I work for
one of the largest organizations in the country (U.S. Army) and got the copy
from my people that are responsible for Liscense Management. We (the Army)
would be very stupid to pirate Windows or any other software.

I have personally bought 2-copies for my use at home and on my personal
computer. So while I know you mean well, I do find your veiled attempt at
calling me a "pirate" offensive. I would be a rather stupid "pirate" to ask
for help of the good people that lurk here for a problem with pirated
software. If you'd like to discuss this in more debth, then call me at
580-442-4970 (my work phone.) Otherwise, do I need a new CD or not?

Thanks,
I am not a pirate!

Rodger ... are you, by chance, installing to an onboard SATA drive
connection in addition to both primary and seconday IDE connections? A
common indication of not being able to see drives on an IDE connector
(e.g. your two CD drives connected to Secondary) is a BIOS setting that
has you running in 'compatiblity mode' (max of 4 devices) for a legacy
OS (Win98/Me/NT-4) rather than in 'Enhanced mode' (6 devices) for a
native OS (W2k/WinXP). That would also account for the setup file
problem during the reboot portion of the XP install as it's going to the
wrong location.

Just a WAG ... but thought I'd 'run it up the flagpole and see it it
flutters'. ;-)
