WIN XP PRO incl. SP2 INSTALL "ASMS PROBLEM" solved

Post by hurenBock »

hi guys !

yesterday i deleted VISTA from my machine and reinstalled XP PRO......

but a well known problem appeared when i came to the WINDOWS XP install step....... ( 39 minutes left )

( GET A LOOK HERE TO KNOW FROM WHAT I SPEAK )
http://www.x-setup.net/forum/archive/in ... t-520.html

the PC wanted a File or Files called "ASMS" in the "I386" folder.....
so first i was scared cause i didnt had any free CDR to burn the I386 folder manually via copy and paste and then burning....from the second PC with INET connection........

so i started to get angry and afraid lol

tried it several times with the USB stick i copied the folder on the USB stick and tried again but no chance the stick wasnt detected !

so ok.. i thought fukk this shlt and at this point i was pretty angry !
( i said to myself " DAMN YOU KNEW IT DAMN U fukkin knew it.....NEVER change a RUNNING SYSTEM ) but now i was were i was and there was no way back

then something weird happenend.......removed the folder that was shown
in the window ( the path to the I386 folder ) it looked like this........

"I:/I386"

I: = my DVD DRIVE

lol then i was bored and just typed the same thing in the box manually
( i typed in I:/I386 manually like mentioned above.....pressed ENTER and

VOILA IT WORKED ! i couldnt believe it but it worked.......install process was getting further ( has stopped at the 39 minute mark )

MIRCOSOFT also knows about this problem and they released a patch FIX for it but just for the UPGRADE version.......

well im beginning to believe that im the only person who knows how to solve that problem until now

its that easy while others unconnect their CD DVD DRIVES etc.........

burn the folder and and and........

:lol:

I can't believe you didn't use your moderator's powers before. What? I'm a mod too? But not as mighty as you.
Plus, I think you're both german. I'd like too read some insults in your language ahah.
Seriously hurenBock, I think you're walking the line of a silver blade (am I clear?).

lol no it just annoyed me very much cause ive read much of this bug
on the net

and nobody knew how it works.......
at least thats the impression i got after reading alot of stuff turning around this problem.........

and sure for me this was a big surprise too
i mean why he doesnt find the folder but finds it when it gets entered manually

doesnt make sense for me.......

and sry maybe i reacted a little bit to hard
but it suxs when someone calls one a moron and to get a life

cause Im not a moron
and i HAVE a LIFE ! damn sometimes i wish i wouldnt have one.......

i mean try to imagine how i felt in that moment
imagine how you feel when people might think such stuff about you

im no sensitive guy but this really plssed me off

just because I found something that seemed very intresting
to me ......and yes its right......

i posted very much stuff last weeks / months but this was because
i changed my work and it was so boring the first time

i never thought that 2 or 3 more posts fukk people up in that dimension.......

looks like hurenBock is having only problems and posting about them all. I think, man, you should stop it, it's not that kind of place. This place is devoted to games but not your mistakes and failures. :wink:
