SYMPTOMS
When you install additional drivers from the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) Winter CD-ROM, the following message may appear:

Please insert the disk labeled "Windows NT Setup CD-ROM disk" into: :



CAUSE
This message appears even though the correct path to the installation files has been specified and the CD is in the drive. The MSDN Winter 1994 CD contains the installation files for Windows NT in the following directories:   \WINNT\USALL\ALPHA \DRVLIB \I386 \MIPS In addition to those directories, the USALL directory also contains two files, SETUP.TXT and DISK2. DISK2 is the file that Setup uses to determine that it has the correct media. Setup expects DISK2 to be in the root directory of the drive the Windows NT installation files are on. If it does not find it there, it will not know it has the correct CD and continues to prompt for it.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:

 Use the SUBST command to substitute a drive letter for the USALL directory. For example:

SUBST X: F:\WINNT\USALL. Then install from the SUBST drive.

-or-

 Share the USALL directory in File Manager, connect to it so it is the root of a network drive, and then install from the network drive.
