You have forgot to put tag files (ident files like win51 etcetera) to both roots!
This error is caused by the fact that you don’t have necessary ident-files on both the “primary root” and the “second root”.
Explanation (WinXP):
Ident-files ("win51" and more files) must reside on the root “EasyBoot\disk1” and on “second root” which is folder below i386 (xpen). Example in your case:
EasyBoot\disk1\ win51 (and more ident-files, because this is “the primary root”)
EasyBoot\disk1\ xpen\ win51 (and more ident-files, and a bunch of setup-files. Note: this is “the second root”)
EasyBoot\disk1\ xpen\ i386\ (ident-files not necessary in here)
Same procedure to w2k - EN2K, w2srv - SRV2 and finally 2003SRV - SRV3.
A brief explanation how it works (example showing WinXP): When you start setup (running equivalent “w2ksect.bin”) this starts setupldr.bin in folder “xpen”, and setup is looking on the root of CD\DVD-unit (“primary root”=EasyBoot\disk1) for win51 (and more ident-files).
Files from i386 are then copied to two different folders on [C:] (one boot-folder and another folder holding installation-files). When finished, computer reboots and continues installation. Installation program now looks on the “second root”=EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN, you have changed this in “txtsetup.sif >> Setupsource”. That’s why you need ident-files in two places. I now, it’s seems stupid, but necessary!
Note: Setup-program still needs to have CD/DVD in reader-unit!
