RE: Slipstreamed Server 2003 SP1 install fails looking for AMDIDE.SYS

Hello
Look at the txtsetup.sif file.
That is the file that is pointing to the amdide.sys at that stage of setup.
What is on that line of txtsetup.sif that references that file.
Are you booting from CD/
When you use the Dell CD, what temp folder is it creating?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
