How do I use CAB SDK?

[andrew213]

when i click on the zip file attached to the post above, nothing happens. how am i able to download it?

 

[JohnnyD421]

i make every changes of the files. Just replace, burn and install

I think that the zip file that you've posted is intended for WinXP SP3. Because when i used my None SP3 WinXP CD to create the ISO, before the installation begins I get a message "Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Pro SP3 CD into Drive A: "

Do you have the edited files for WinXP SP2 or WinXP?

Thank you!
JD

YES! Finally the installation went through and WinXP started the Setup Wizard! I finished that, and WinXP started! Hip hip hurray
I used the second set of files that you sent me and they worked, finally I can boot off my USB Hard Drive. Now there are still some issues at hand. WinXP does not recognize my Internal Hard Drive as being there... that is odd. Also much of my hardware is not functioning properly, such as my Sound Card, Video Card, and most imporntatly my Network Card are not installed. In the Device Manager many icons have yellow ? Icons next to them, what can I do to fix this?

Hello Andros,
Would you please post the 6 Edited files that you've used in your ISO?
Thanx man!

Hello Andros,

Just an update,
The instructions on this forum are great!!! I used cab SDK and was able to successfully install WinXP Pro SP3 on my external harddrive. (SP1 didn't work)

Thank you very much everyone!

hey question, When I try to boot it tells me that file atiide.sys cannot be found? is there any way around this? or better yet , where can I find this file to replace it in my iso?


and just to toss this out there, I really am not sure as to what I'm doing when people get overly technical. please you may need to "dumb it down" for me. Thanks.

 

[Rebeltech88]

ok. so Ive been looking through this thread, and I see where the files were already posted, however, when I go to that page all that comes up is abunch of links to other websires. any help here? Nobardin could you perhaps pm me, or email me so we could figure this out? I'm running xp home sp2 on my toshiba satellite L305. or at least thats the idea here........any help would be great. sorry about the spam.

Does anyone have a copy of the cabsdk, it is no longer available from microsoft.

 

[noemirosario]

For anyone who wants a copy of cabsdk, go to pixelsplasher.com. I am not allowed to post links yet since this is my first post

Hi, I thought I has posted this question but I realize I must not have hit post reply....

Anyway I am working on a Mac and through Parallels I have made a dvd disc of the iso with the correct files that were posted here for Windows XP SP3. I have a Macbook AIR so I'm having to remotely upload this on to the external harddrive from another macs disk drive... this is all really complicated and I've gotten really far but now when I try to load it on to the external harddrive my parallels wont get past trying to set up the "Setup" part of downloading the OS. I think this is probably bc the edited files that were posted on here are no good. If any one has advice or would like to make fun of me, feel free. Thanks!

PS has anyone had success using the edited files that were posted on here? Just wondering, thank you.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having with the xp.zip file it keeps telling me to Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Pro SP3 CD into Drive A:, if their is an easy way to fix this or someone has the modified files for xp i would appreciate it.
