    I am having a hard time getting my xp pro sp2 cd working...I went through nlite and all, created a bootable CD and when I go to restart windows, I get a command prompt...not the normal Press any key to continue bit.

    I search for D:/I386/winnt and run that and it keep saying an internal setup error has occurred. Could not find a place for a swap file. Setup cannot continue. Press Enter to exit.

    and that is as far as my options go...

    huh?

    put the drive in the tray
    turn off computer
    press power button, and start pressing Esc repeatedly
    the select boot will come up, boot from the cd drive
    then press any key when prompted

    is that what you're looking for?

    When I do that it starts Caldera DR-DOS ... not normal setup... I even made a cd that was not bootable with no luck.
