Hi,

Where did that TXTSETUP.OEM file come from?

Can you give more details of screens that flash past starting at boot
time? Is the CD loading DOS and MS Client? What is happening just before
the error? Is this before the first reboot? What is your RAID and
paritioning scheme and on what hard drives?
