That indeed is the problem. Looking on the forums out there, it seems a lot of people were bit by this. On Dell systems, people are being asked for CD 2, but the problem is that no one has a "CD 2" cause Dell never gave it. The customer has all the disks that came with the computer, nicely packed with the CD case that it came with. But, unfortunately, no CD 2. :o( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ SirTroth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ICQ: 1717439 ~ YAHOO: SirTroth ~ SKYPE: SirTroth ~ XFIRE: SirTroth ~ AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ~ http://ut2004.sirtroth.com ~ MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (For MSN Chat) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gman Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 11:44 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Windows XP Professional.. CD2??? As far as I know, MCE is the only retail edition of XP that has a second CD, but it's odd that an OEM version installation would ask you for it. I take it the customer doesn't have the original disks that came with the system? Putting that in might satisfy the requirements of this window you're dealing with.
