Missing files with slipstreamed Windows XP and SP2

If you're slipstreaming SP2 into your Windows XP CD you should make sure to set your character set properly, otherwise you may be missing some file when you start the installation. This is because your character set has been set to ISO 9660 instead of DOS.

Some of the files you may be missing and the directory they should be copied to are:

  • cyclad-z.inf → <WINDOWS>\inf\
  • cyclom-y.inf → <WINDOWS>\inf\
  • SV_262e1.png → <WINDOWS>\system32\DirectX\Dinput\
  • SV_262e3.png → <WINDOWS>\system32\DirectX\Dinput\
  • SV_262e4.png → <WINDOWS>\system32\DirectX\Dinput\
If you have already installed Windows XP then you can try copying the files manually from the CD. The two files cyclad-z.inf and cyclom-y.inf will be named CYCLAD_Z.IN_ and CYCLOM_Y.IN_ on the CD, you will need to change the underscore to a dash and rename it to a .inf file when you copy it over.
