Hi, When I was having trouble installing WinXP on my laptop, and I installed Fedora as a temporary OS until I could get it running, I had the same 'bad http response' errors. I checked through the apache config and everything else, and it actually turned out to be that the http server with the Fedora files on it was busy. I hacked it to use a local mirror (my ISPs) instead of the default and it worked instantly. I'd say it's probably not to do with downloading the smaller UDA, rather the time you tried again later the server wasn't so busy

Install has just finished - awesome Oh yeah, and about the XP iso not showing up in the drop down menu - I was running Firefox. When I used IE it worked, so I can only assume you were right about javascript not being enabled. Thanks again!

Dude, you are nothing short of a LEGEND[/b]! I currently have a successfully installing Windows XP laptop beside me. I'd installed Fedora yesterday on it but I really did want Windows. Anything from here I'm sure I can find drivers for, but seriously you're a champ. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your help. Good luck finding your rug

Doh - So close, and yet so far It all worked this time, got me to the Windows Setup screen.. until: The operating system image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your network adapter. So.. is it a Linux NIC driver I'm missing? Or a Windows one? If I can find one, where would I put it? The laptop in question is a Toshiba Portege R100. I can almost taste it working Any help is again greatly appreciated dude -p
Awesome, thanks dude -- will give it a try, and let you know how it went Cheers -p

Hey dude (is that dude lebowski?) Yes, it does show the ISO files in the page source (ie, I've clicked on configure winxp): Hopefully this won't come out mangled... function Reload() { var classarray= new Array () classarray[0]='winxp;winxp.iso' classarray[1]='winxp;xp.iso' for (q=document.forms[0].ISOFILE.options.length;q>=0;q--) { document.forms[0].ISOFILE.options[q]=null ; } for (i=0; i<classarray.length; i++) { var pos=classarray[i].indexOf(";") var myclass = classarray[i].substr(0,pos) var mysubclass=classarray[i].substr(pos1,classarray[i].length1) if ( myclass == document.forms[0].SHARE.options[document.forms\[0].SHARE.selectedIndex].text) { myEle = document.createElement("option") ; myEle.text = mysubclass ; document.forms[0].ISOFILE.add(myEle) ; } } } Can you spot any errors in there? javascript is not my bag

I tried cutting out the middle man, I edited /var/public/conf/os.conf to include my ISO filename manually. It showed it in the OS screen, I clicked mount and it mounted successfully. Job done, I thought. Went to create a template, and got the same output as above, with startrom failing. It still hasn't created any template files. D'oh!

Hi again, Thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, this hasn't worked. I tried duplicating the ISO in the directory, which I can see via console (ie 2 ISOs) but it still doesn't pick any of them up. I had a look in the uda.pl script, and the line already had an '=' in it, so I take it this is a sufficiently late enough version of UDA to have had this bug fixed? I downloaded it 2 nights ago. So unfortunately, I'm still stuck Any more thoughts? Thanks for your help -p

Hi there, I'm trying to deploy Win XP Pro to a laptop with no cdrom drive or fdd. Toshiba, in all their wisdom, replaced my HD and handed it back blank and I can't be bothered taking it back. Soooo.. I've not changed any default settings. I've set my windows server PC to have an IP of 10.0.0.10/255.0.0.0. I've logged into the web interface as admin. I've added my mount point, 10.0.0.10/winxp I've clicked mount, and it's successfully mounted I click on OS I click configure next to 'winxp' It comes up with share name 'winxp' The ISO drop down is always blank, but if I look at /var/public/smbmount/winxp on the console, sure enough the drive is mounted and the ISO, winxp.iso is clearly in there. I have full write permissions (verified by 'touch'). I think "stuff it", and mount the ISO by hand - mount -t iso9660 -o loop /var/public/smbmount/winxp/winxp.iso /var/public/tftproot/WINXP It successfully mounts. I save everything, and boot the laptop. It comes up with: For help press Current Templates: ID Description --------- + winxp Windows XP boot: I type in 'winxp' - get back "Could not find kernel image: winxp" I type in 'WINXP' - get back "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I'm stuck. Any advice you can give me please? Is this because I manually mounted the ISO? Why can't it see the ISO listed? Any help you can give me is appreciated, I REALLY want to get this laptop working again.. Thanks -p
