while reading artical 318378, method #1 step1 fails to
recognize the cd rom when the Windows XP Professional cd
is in it. In fact, when prompted to insert the disc, I
do, then hit enter, the cd rom doesn't even spin up.
Other than on this occasion, my cd-rom works perfectly.
Is there somewhere else the installation path could be
looking for the media? What if I've changed the drive
letter on the cd?
 
Hello Joe,
Use this article:
222473 Registry Settings for Windows File Protection

The sourcepath entry should be pointing to the cd-rom Drive letter. If the
cd-rom drive letter changed, then it's looking at the wrong location for
the XP CD.
Change that value to the current cd-rom drive letter
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
