Unfortunately one of the files it can not find doesn't even give me the
option to select another location.
Re: ghost - definitely. After last attempt couldn't get anything but the
BSOD. Restored image immediately to get back to operating.

| Had a similar prob, SP4 couldn't 'find' ntdetect.com, arcldr.exe and
| arcsetup.exe. The files were located in the directory that sp4 created but
| setup refused to copy them. I tried to copy them out to another dir to
| manually install them later, but I got a sharing violation which is
probably
| why setup couldn't use them in the first place.
|
| My fix was to make them read-only so they wouldn't be purged when setup
| finished, reboot, then plonk them into place manually. The spooky thing is
| that the two arc*.exe files were already in place even though the
installer
| said it couldn't move them.
|
| You could do the above, copy the troublesome files to a new location,
| restore your system partition (you did Ghost it before you started didn't
| you?). Then run sp4 again and point it at the new location for the files
| when it trips up.
|
| Hope this is of some use,
