Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system.This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customersOCO experience with the operating system. Trying to do a 'repair' re-install of Windows XP Home Edition. I get through the loading of files and into the first installation window of Windows XP (after the 1st restart) and then get the system windows asking for 'The File ASMS on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 CD is needed. Type the path where the file is located and then click OK/B]'. The text in the path text box is 'GLOBALROOT DEVICE CDROM0 I386'. The ASMS file (directory) is in the 1st level directory of I386 on the CD. This is also a valid OEM CD with the Hologram.

Dell reserves the right to cancel orders arising from pricing or other errors. The system has two CD drives; one is a CD drive and the other is a DVD/CD RW drive. It seems it is not communicating with the drive properly. I've tried D: I386, E: I386 & F: I386. Basically, I've tried to do it about any way I can think of. ![]() Even tried using each of the CD drives. I'm running out of ideas and really don't want to lose the 'not backed up' data on the HD with a full re-install of Windows. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc. Would be very grateful for any input! It worked just as stated! I now reached the loading of the drivers in the installing phase. It gets about 65% of the drivers loaded and then asks for 'Please insert the Compact Disk labeled ' VIA AGP Filter Driver Disk' into your CDROM driv e (D and then click OK. You can also click OK if you want files to be copied from an alternate location, such as a floppy disk'. I found it at the URL: and loaded the driver to floppy and so far so good.. Everything 'finally' completed. Thank you again for your quick response! This is happily resolved!!! Click to expand.Hi, I just found this forum today by doing a Google search for the phrase quoted above. I have a friend who cannot get her computer to start up. It is saying this message. She has the Windows XP SP2 disc, and she put it into the CD-ROM, but nothing is getting her past this message. She tried to do a SHIFT+F10, and nothing happened. Does anyone have some steps I can print out before I go to her house to try to fix her computer. Should I download some files to a CD before I go over there? She only has a CD-ROM. She does have a floppy disc drive. I am going over there in an hour or so. Please let me know if you have any advice. Sam, Take the.exe file and extract it ( you can do this with WinZip or via command line ). This will give you all of the folders and files that you need. I like to create a SYSTEM folder and I typically put the OS I386 folder in there as well as the Service Pack I386 folder. You might also want to make sure that you change the appropriate Registry entries ( there are two of them: one for the OS and one for the Service Pack ) so that it *looks* at C: SYSTEM folder instead of d: ( assuming that D: is your CD-ROM drive letter ). Sam, When you install a service pack for Windows 2000 and later, the operating system caches the service pack files and keeps them on-hand for when additional components are added. When you add a component to Windows that wasn't present when you installed XPSP2, the operating system will automatically apply any patched files to the component you install to keep your system up-to-date. As MS likes to say, 'this is behavior by design'. Don't worry, you don't need to keep a copy of the service pack on-hand; you should never be reinstalling service packs on Windows 2000 and newer operatings systems. However, if you would still like to have an extracted copy of the service pack 'just to have', download the 'network installation' of the service pack from Microsoft, and execute it from a Command Prompt using the 'x' switch to extract it, but not apply it. WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /x This will ask you for a destination directory for the files, and extract the service pack which you can then burn to CD-R for keeping.
