another addendum. - Saves the confusion g

BTW - It's still the Lancastrian district of Cumbria.

Shoot.....now I will have to go figure out what the *Lancastrian District of
Cumbria* is.

We never call it Cumbria.....coz we are working in the olden days. (G)
Back when it was Cumberland & Westmorland. Oddly enough, Ron grew up in
Westmorland in Jamaica......just a bit of trivia, lol.

c: windows i clicked options folder and there appears to the right side 2
folders : cabs and install. boni

OK Boni, - so, one of those folders *should* contain the BASE2.CAB.

Make a note of whichever contains the BASE2.CAB file and then try to make
your Startup disk again and when prompted that :-

the file 'aspi2dos.sys' was not found.

then you only need to re-direct the warning to the appropriate folder
(either the options\install or options\CABS folder) determined from the
above and it should then continue and create the disk.

base2.cab does not appear in windows/options/cabs/install.

but.. above the above list in (c / there is a subfolder CABS when clicked
there are 53 objects , there is
BASE2 2188kb cabinet. 6/2000. boni.

Yep! - That's the one!!

That folder (53 objects) sounds very much like the one which WinMe puts onto
your HD as WinMe is being installed for the first time. It is (almost) an
exact copy of the complete WinMe installation files - and should not be
deleted. (N.B. - note the word *should* and not *must*!!!)

As I said elsewhere, *normally*, when installing Me from a MS retail CD, it
copies the whole installation setup files to the windows\options\install
folder. But with (some?) OEM CD's, it copies them to windows\options\cabs
folder - and perhaps in your case, to a completely different folder.

What is the full path of *your* CABS subfolder?

So, you only need to re-direct the warning to the appropriate folder, the "
(c / ...... CABS subfolder" (containing the BASE2.CAB) and it should then
continue and create the disk.

good what do you mean by path . under c it is just by itself . boni

'paths' or file/folder addresses are probably best illustrated by the
following examples:-

C:\
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\Options
C:\Windows\Options\Instal
C:\Windows\Options\CABS
C:\Temp
D:\win9x
A:\MyStuff\MyPics\MyHols

Where A:\ or C:\ or D:\ etc., are (often) known as the 'root' folders or
directories of the particular disk. The rest being known as 'sub-folders' or
'sub-directories' - and hence, describes their respective 'paths'.

Hope that helps explain things.

So therefore, what was the path of *your* CABS folder?
... under c it is just by itself . boni
Do you mean C:\CABS?

And more importantly - did you finally manage to create a WinMe Startup
disk?
