    I recently had to replace the hard drive on my 6625, I've put the new one in and it keeps coming up with this error message when I install windows, saying that certain files are missing. What do I do?

    1. Which version (including service pack No. of appropriate) of Windows?

    2. Did you install all the Zepto drivers? You can get them here.

    Windows Vista, and I'm pretty sure it's SP2 but I may be wrong so I'll check later. I'm not sure installing the drivers is to do with this, I'm putting in a blank hard disk cos my old one failed, and trying to install the OS on it, from the CD I got from Zepto. Am I doing something wrong?

    If you are getting the error while trying to install Vista then the cause may be one of Vista's many bugs. I suggest that you use vLite to build a new SP2 installation disc. You can get the full Vista SP2 download file here.
