RE: 386 folder issue
Hi,
I believe it's an OEM installation disc that was given with the machine,
which was built by a retailer according to my hardware needs.
While attempting to install the Fax, the computer keeps asking for the XP
pro SP2 CD that I don't have.
I didn't find i386 folder on my machine and my installation disc either.
So, I can see possible 2 routs for solution
1. Either to get the downloaded version of XP pro SP2, which I don't know
where (so far searching for it in vain) or order the CD.
2. Utilize the XP home SP2 version i386 folder to that I have access for Fax
Service installation.
Should the second option be used at all?
Thanks
sjb
