Default EBD Creation Problems.

Hello,

I encounter this message when attempting to make an
EBD: "Error Details. The following error occurred: "The
file was not found(error #2). Setup could not finish
opening a file on the source disk.
Source file: A:\Autoexec.ebd
Destination file: C:\WINEBD0.400\EBD\autoexec.bat=
BASE2.CAB"
All the EBD files are subject to the same error message.

What are the implications behind the message?

Help appreciated.

Search for BASE2.CAB on your hard drive and make a note of its location.
(Probably in the C:\Windows\Options\Install or \Cabs folder)

Then try and create the EBD again, but this time when the error message
appears, navigate to the location of the BASE2.CAB file. The process should
now continue and complete the WinMe Startup Disk.

Default EBD Creation Problems.

Hello Mart,

Thanks for responding. In the beginning making an EBD was
simple. These days, after I have 'messed about' with my
computer for some years, it is not.

I am using the same disk each time I try for the EBD. And
each time different files cannot be found. I find them in
BASE2.CAB or WIN9_.CAB or WIN_16.CAB or in WIN19_.CAB, and
the EBD is created, I repeat the making and still have to
look for and point at paths. I have all of the CABS
involved in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL and still the
required files cannot all be found.

I have had to copy these four CAB files from Win9x on my F
drive. They and others like them! were and are not, on C.
Any thoughts about my recovering the innocence of the
total newbie in this particular regard?
Thanks.
Ben.

well the easy way in this case would be to hike over to www.bootdisk.com
and download an EBD-making program (pick their WinME-OEM version). Then
you can just forget about it until it comes time to reinstall the OS.

Hello Rick,

Good to hear from you. I took that hike and got the EBD
program. Easy yes. And from what else you say 'my'
condition will remain more or less the same until I do
that format and install. Time is passing, Rick, that might
just be the challenge too far!

Oh and I forgot. In the beginning the word was update your
EBD from time to time. Why?

And see my post above for a real snooker!

Cheers,
Ben.

Still is, floppy disks don't last forever. No real "update" though as

that you remember where you put it).

Yeah, looks like it's time for a "refresh" reinstallation (install
Windows on top of itself)... but since I usually just wipe and install
new, can't really help you with that one.

Ben, for the moment please keep to the one thread, it's getting complicated
enough g. Your other (later) topic is related and is best continued in
this one.

From what you are reporting, you not only have lost the path settings but
you also 'appear' to have a corrupted windows.sys file (and others too
perhaps!)

Under the circumstances - and assuming this issue (the windows.sys report)
is only recent - try the following with your 'new' boot disk (from
bootdisk.com).

Boot, using your Windows Startup (floppy) Disk and choose 4) Minimal Boot.

At the A:\ prompt, type "scanreg /restore" (no quotes and note the space
between the g and /) then press Enter.

Follow the screen prompts and when asked, select the LAST 'good' date before
you had problems, continuing with the instructions.

Don't forget to remove the floppy disk BEFORE you tell the machine to
reboot.

See if that helps to get rid of the 'windows.sys' error report.

BTW - what dates were offered, i.e how recent were they? - They *should* be
five, consecutive (very) recent dates.

If you have got 'corrupted' or damaged (registry) files, then you *may* well
have to re-install BUT DON'T GO THERE YET!!

Hi Rick,

Glad to hear 'updating' the floppy EBD is merely making a
brand new one on account of possible floppy breakdown with
age.

I will hold off on a reinstall pro-tem since I keep
promising myself that is the last time! But I think I have
access to an article about how to do it optimally.

I like you style of response, Rick. Clear clear clear.
Thanks for all.
Ben.

Hello Mart,

That is very clear. I think? I may have used a too recent
date on a scanreg /restore AND I did it with Windows
running! Will give it another go your way - and post back.
(Sorry about the dual posts. I wasn't exactly sure that
was the case.)
I just had a look at the rb* and I have the five but the
dates are odd. .000 is 29th.May. .001 the 29th.(later
on). .002 the 30th. .003 missing. .400 the 12th May!
And .005 the 28th May. I would prefer to wait for your
response as to which one I might best use. And I have just
begun using (29th.early) Delindex 5.0. This compacts
(amongst many other features) the Registry using the
command ScanReg.exe /opt. A possible problem?

Thanks, Mart.
Ben.

Default EBD Creation Problems.

It doesn't matter whether you run scanreg /restore in either Windows or DOS
although there are times when, if you can't get into Windows - even in Safe
Mode - then the DOS method may be the only solution.

Regarding the dates, don't worry too much about the order of rb00X suffix,
they just update until rb005 then start over again. I was more concerned
about the dates themselves. The fact that they are reasonably recent shows
that 'something' is working OK g. Although it is odd that you still have
one dated 12th May (unless it is a faulty one)

You didn't say when the windows.sys error started - again, if only recently
then choose the last one BEFORE that date.

If you do decide to consider re-installing WinMe (but note Rick's comment
regarding the boot disk only - ...Then you can just forget about it until it
comes time to reinstall the OS), then I suggest you take a look at Noel's
site:
http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/reinME.htm
and think through your strategy.

Re-installing will automatically ask if you want to make a boot disk and
should also reset the path statements.

It's up to you to decide whether the effort will be worth it g

Good luck

them
in
BASE2.CAB or WIN9_.CAB or WIN_16.CAB or in

WIN19_.CAB,
and
the EBD is created, I repeat the making and still

have
to
look for and point at paths. I have all of the CABS
involved in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL and still the
required files cannot all be found.

I have had to copy these four CAB files from Win9x on
my F
drive. They and others like them! were and are not,

on
C.
Any thoughts about my recovering the innocence of the
total newbie in this particular regard?
Thanks.
Ben.

well the easy way in this case would be to hike over to
www.bootdisk.com
and download an EBD-making program (pick their WinME-

OEM
version). Then
you can just forget about it until it comes time to
reinstall the OS.

Search for BASE2.CAB on your hard drive and make a

note

of its location.

(Probably in the C:\Windows\Options\Install or \Cabs

folder)

Then try and create the EBD again, but this time when
the

error message

appears, navigate to the location of the BASE2.CAB
file.

The process should

now continue and complete the WinMe Startup Disk.

Hello,

I encounter this message when attempting to make an
EBD: "Error Details. The following error

occurred: "The
file was not found(error #2). Setup could not finish
opening a file on the source disk.
Source file: A:\Autoexec.ebd
Destination file: C:\WINEBD0.400\EBD\autoexec.bat=
BASE2.CAB"
All the EBD files are subject to the same error
message.

What are the implications behind the message?

Help appreciated.
