If you have any ideas on utilities you want or improvements to current tools. Send me an Email, I'm always willing to help.

This problem can occur without changing hardware by merely changing drive letters of existing hardware installed. Windows request for the original Windows installation CD can be made unnecessary. Copy the I386 folder from the Windows CD to the hard drive, to C: I386. Change the sourcepath registry key to C: (not C:I386). This facilitates running any tool which requires the Windows CD without the need to have the Windows disc, such as the troubleshooting tool System File Checker (sfc.exe) which can replace corrupted system files. »Edit: I see reading the program page makes this point which may have made my point pointless ;) Looks like a handy little program.

Change the sourcepath registry key to C: (not C:I386).
