SYMPTOMS
========
When you start an unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0 from an MS-DOS
prompt, you may receive the following error message:
Setup was unable to copy the following file, cdrom.sys.
Also, in MS-DOS mode you may not be able to create or manipulate any file called
Cdrom.sys.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur if you load ATAPI Real Mode CD-ROM driver in the
Config.sys file.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, edit the Config.sys file. To do this, follow these
steps:
1. At the MS-DOS prompt, type "edit config.sys" (without the quotation marks),
and then press ENTER.
2. Find the Device= line that contains the ATAPI Real Mode CD-ROM driver.
3. Edit the line so the /D: switch does not contain the word value "cdrom."
For example change the following line from
Device=<driver> /d:cdrom
to
Device=<driver> /d:test1
where <driver> is the path and file name of your CD-ROM driver.
Additional query words: msdos cdrom.sys cdrom unattend install nt 4.0
