TITLE   :Setup Doesn't Recognize CD-ROM Disc
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Setup doesn't recognize the installation CD-ROM disc. When you insert the
CD, the system beeps and redisplays the prompt to insert the CD.

CAUSE
=====

SETUP.EXE can be used to create a Master Files directory on a server for
network installation of additional Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
Server systems. The SETUP command switch for the source drive can indicate
either a CD or a floppy disk. If the system was originally installed using
the CD-ROM installation, the FILELIST.INF file contains pointers to CD-ROM
locations of files. Executing "SETUP -n -i initial.inf -s a:\ -d X:\PATH"
at the command line causes the system to prompt "Insert the Windows NT
Setup CD-ROM disc into drive A:" When you insert the SETUP CD for CD-ROM
installation, the system beeps and the prompt is redisplayed.

RESOLUTION
==========

To avoid this problem, replace the FILELIST.INF file with one that has
pointers to the floppy disk locations of files, rather than the CD-ROM
location. Expand FILELIST.IN_ from Disk 4 of the floppy installation set
into %systemroot%\System32\FILELIST.INF and re-run the SETUP command.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
