-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Dell Reinstall CD (with a correction)

GMan

The $OEM$ folder contains:

1.    CMDLINES.TXT (see below)

[Commands]
"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\OEM.INF"
"cmd /c start /min cmd /c .\OEMLink.bat"

2.    ATAPI.EXE (can't open this)

3.    dellbutn.htm (this is to do with Dell Help & Support)

4.    DELLSUPPORT.ICO (just an icon)

5.    OEM.INF (see below)

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=Volume.AddReg, Reboot.AddReg, Time.AddReg

[Volume.AddReg]
HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray","Services",0x00010001,31

[Reboot.AddReg]
HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl","AutoReboot",0x00010001,0

[Time.AddReg]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers",,0000000000,"3"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers","3",0000000000,"time-a.nist.gov"


6.    OEMLINK.BAT (can't open this)

7.    vssver.scc (can't open this)

I hope that this information helps

I am virtually certain that the CD is now as it was supplied by Dell. I
remember having to shout loudly to get it at all

Are you saying that the disk should enable a Repair, but for some reason
isn't doing so, or that I need something else?
I'm getting confused!

Regards
David

David,
    Since SP2 is already slipstreamed into your CD, you have no need (or
ability) to create another one from it.  In other words, it's already ready
already.   Hopefully, it's just being stubborn and we'll eventually figure
out why.

    The folders you showed on that CD tell me that it may be nothing more
than a homegrown SP2 install CD with the addition of the DOTNETFX AND Wacom
tablet folders which were either placed there by Dell or by whomever else
may have made that disk for you (or at least your system).  To confirm this,
go into the OEM folder and see what's inside it.  I'm expecting a single
text file called 'cmdlines.txt'.  If that file is all that's in there, open
it and Copy/Paste the contents in your reply for my amusement.       :O)

Peace,
GMan
