XPSP2 setup cannot find the eula!!!! please kill me....

I need to install windows xp SP2 from a hard drive partition. Here is how I currently have it set up.

C:\ -> Location to install windows xpSP2(fat32) 20gb

D:\ -> Location to install windows xpSP2 from (fat32) 20 gb

I boot up using a windows 98 boot disk, change to drive D:\i386 and run winnt

Setup copies files to drive C: ($WIN_NT$.~BT, $WIN_NT.~LS....)

I reboot and setup continues until the screen where it says:

"Setup cannot find the End-User License Agreement (EULA). Setup will not continue"

Side note:
In txtsetup.sif SetupSourcePath="\"

I have read a lot about this problem and can't figure it out. Hopefully its something easy that I missed somewhere.

My Xp is PRo with SP1

Thanks

Cool

I don't understand the WIN98 thing. SP2 is self installing. Click on the icon and select start.

Exclamation It is a real pain

The http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...3&Product=winxp idea is to completly format my drive which I need to avoid since I have tons of complicated software installed and configured. It could take days to reinstall.

I cannot install SP2 from WIndows because it gave me an error which was "program too large for memory" I reseached the error and what happens is you cannot install the new SP2 patch if your machine have installed the previous SP2 beta patch. Once I tried to uninstalled it fail to do that. I tried then followed the instruction from MS article 875350 in which tells you to remove the SP2 beta from the system restore process and making changes in the registry.... I followed but it did not removed it! So what I did is I expanded the SP2 executable and I copied the i386 into my c drive, restarded in dos and run it.... It was going golden until the EULA error!!!!

Try converting the drive from FAT32 to NTFS and then attempt the installation again. If solved the problem on one of my machines.
