RE: Do I have the correct Windows XP SP2 Installation Disk?

You've added drives to the OS but youre (cd E:) probably still has the
default letter in the registry (D:),& needs to be changed.Go to
run,type:regedit
In regedit,expand:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/setup/
open source path.Locate,InstallationSources,L.click,go to edit,modify,set the
letter to E: (same as listed in my computer),close,L.click on SourcePath,do
the
same,close out regedit when thru.

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to create a Kaspersky Rescue Disk. One of the things required to
do this is a Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation CD. All I have to do is
to point Kaspersky to the location of this CD in my PC. The CD is in my E
drive, so Kaspersky is pointed to my E drive. Unfortunately, when I run the
Kaspersky wizard, I get a message saying "Cannot find Microsoft Windows XP
distributive". Does that mean the CD I have is the wrong one? It is clearly
marked "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security
Technologies". It is dated 2004 and carries Part No. X10-80291. I'm
thoroughly confused.

Can anyone help?
