"please insert Windows XP CD"

[wojo629]

ok, maybe not a question, just a rant!

why does it seem like every MS #######KB solution seems to ask for this?

do any PC's ship w/ a XP CD anymore?

does MS think that every one has one? they're not as common as those stupid AOL CD's you see everywhere!

I'm done, feel better now. now i can go look for the mythical WXP CD that should be around here somewhere!!!

i think everybody that has xp should have one or some type of restore disc, just my opinion but i think if you by xp you should get a cd

I can't understand why you are being constantly asked for the CD anyway. I can't remember the last time I had to get my CD out to install a patch or update, if I ever had to at all. One thing you could do, if you do have a restore D rather than a proper Windows CD, is to see if it has a folder called "i386" on it. If it does, copy the folder to the hard drive, and nect time you're asked for a CD, point the dialog to that folder.
