Windows XP Support

[tg723]

Greetings Mr. Mahel!

I'm new here in your site and I recently downloaded your Windows XP SP3 May edition (the first one that comes out when you search it to TPB). As I view the comments there, no one has ever encountered the same problem as I did. I downloaded the ISO, burnt it, and installed it. But for some reasons, I'm getting this error saying that "SETUPORG.exe does not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD". There's a RETRY and SKIP options and technically, i will choose the SKIP button. The installation will finish but when the computer reboots itself, it won't continue saying that there's a missing file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND!
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND!
(setupORG.exe - > Original windows Setup.exe)

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
    "setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD

2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
--------------------------------------------------------

SETUP ABORT


when i press OK, the system will reboot and will go on a loop just like this. I don't know how to solve this. I've went through various forums and it seems that most of them haven't found the answers yet. I thought you can help me with this. I can't use my laptop now even if i run it in safe mode.

Please help me as soon as possible. Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello!!
The problem you are facing is because of corrupted files
Please make sure you download the full iso file and keep it sometime for seeding
Then burn the iso to a disc at the lowest speed possible [2x or 4x] to avoid any errors.
then reinstall windows and see the difference
Good Luck Buddy

Thanks BladeShark for the quick response!!!

I'll be downloading it again and hope it will make a difference. However, I just want some things to be clarified (if it's okay)

1. After the download (and seeding of course ), the only thing that I will do is to burn that single ISO file in a disc right?

2. I'm using BurnAware Free Software as my burning tool. When i create a bootable disc, it always ask me to have an image file before proceeding to burn. Can you explain to me what does that mean?

Thank you again for entertaining my questions

@ tg723.   Hello.

You don't need to create a bootable disk.. The ISO file you have downloaded is already bootable.
All you need to do is burning this ISO image onto a CD or DVD with any image burn software like NERO, UltraISO, PowerISO, MagicISO or ImgBurn. BUT, be sure [with any burning software] to use the option "Write/Burn ISO image".

If you put the ISO file you have downloaded onto the CD and burn like any data CD, it won't boot.

You must specify to burn CD/DVD image.

Also, it's recommended to choose the lowest burning speed (4x) to avoid errors.

This is a tutorial about burning image with PowerISO :

And this with MagicISO :

Good luck.

My neighbours machine has crashed and I'm trying to salvage things from the HD before I reformat it again, but have some problem. They had 5 different logons on the machine and two of them were protected with password. I have now installed the HD in one of my machine to try and copy the files to mine and it all works well, except for the two that had password. It is the folder in Document & Settings /User1 and /User2. I can see the filetree in the folders but it doesn't allow me to copy anything. On every row there is a + after the file/folder size. I talked to them and have the password, but I can't enter that anywhere of course.
Is there anything  can do to save these files?

Thanks
Bub

First the ISO has to be bootable. You didn't say if it was. If you open it with Ultra ISO or Power ISO, It will say bootable CD/DVD  or Data/ . If it's bootable, you can burn it with Nero , Imageburm Ect. Then you have to go to the computers BIOS. Look for a boot menu. Set the CD/DVD as the first boot device. Restart computer. It will boot from cd.
