Specify Source Path to XP Installation Files
Specify Source Path to XP Installation Files
Eliminates the need to insert Windows XP CD for system modifications.

Insert Windows XP CD and copy \i386 folder to hard drive.
Location does not have to be on C:\ drive.

Enter the location where you copied the i386 folder

Example: A valid entry would be "D:\My XP Install"as shown below in this Registry hack.

Change this to wherever you copy the i386 folder.
Please Note: - Don't include the i386 folder itself in
the sourcepath

--------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="D:\My XP Install"
