Title: TXTSETUP.OEM unexpected error (18)
Post by: Javier on July 20, 2003, 02:25:28 AM
Hi there,

I'm trying to add the driver of the NIC in my PC to the product CD I got with Drive Image 7.0 in order to have it finding the network when booting the PowerQuest Recovery Environment.

I followed PQ guidance of doing an image of the CD using WinISO last version, add the WinXP NIC drivers files to INF and DRIVERS folders, saving it and re-making the CD.

But when I try to boot from the CD, I get the message: "TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1742 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c." "press any key to continue" and then, "press any key to restart the computer" and the booting is stopped and the computer restarted.

Of course, the product CD without making any modification works fine.

Any idea of help?

Thanks. Javier

Javier

Did you ever find a resolution to your problem?      I have the exact same problem now trying to install my raid I get the EXACT message and message code 18.

Anybody?

Tam, a fair haired newbie

javier, la razon es que al tener la carpeta/i386/winsxs archivos y subdirectorios con nombres demasiados largos, a la hora de modificar la iso se te acortan los archivos y surge el probrema. Desgraciadamente no he encontrado la solucion. A ver si entre los dos....
Saludos.

It sounds like you have some corrupted disk, got to the vendor's site and you should be able to redownload the files and make your own disk.  that should fix the problem.

You should be able to extract these files out of the CD that came with those mobos too, look under /DRIVERS/SATA.  Dont copy pdfs, they'll just take up space.

i've figured it out..

becareful.. in txtsetup.oem ..

[Files.scsi.FastTrak133_xp2]
driver = d1, Fasttrak.sys, Fasttrak
inf = d1, Fasttrak.inf


the d(x) after = sign HAS to match d(x) under [Disks] section

default for Fastrak mb133 lite is d1 under disk section and d4 under files.scsi section.. this is where i spent 5 hours figuring out what da heck went wrong.

as for the section 18 error, i've got it when i put those [Massive Drive] section under winnt.sif instead of UNATTEND.txt

sorted you have to goto promise web site and download drivers for your hard drive (just look for the driver you want ie tx2pro) unzip and save to floppy then try again this should work as it worked for me. The site was hard to find so this is the address

Translated:

This error is caused by the file WINPEOEM.SIF in \I386\SYSTEM32 on the Drive Image 7 CD.
With a txt-editor put a ; sign in front of each line where it is not. (I gues it is the same as deleting the line)
Safe the modified WINPEOEM.SIF
Burn with a proper bootimage and you're done!!

Solution for error:
TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1742 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c

In dir \I386\SYSTEM32 of the VPRO200P CD there is a file called: WINPEOEM.SIF
You can open this file with NOTEPAD.EXE.
The name "EMULEX_LIGHTPULSE_9000_FIBRE_AD" in the line:

OemDriverDirs=OEM_IBM_ServeRAID_4LX, EMULEX_LIGHTPULSE_9000_FIBRE_AD, LSI_Logic_PCI_SCSI, VMWare_SCSI, Dell_PERC_RAID

is too long. Change this in a name with a max length of 31 characters.
Lets say

OemDriverDirs=OEM_IBM_ServeRAID_4LX, EMULEX_NEW_NAME, LSI_Logic_PCI_SCSI, VMWare_SCSI, Dell_PERC_RAID

You also have to rename a directory where "EMULEX_LIGHTPULSE_9000_FIBRE_AD" was pointing to.
So change \I386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ADDITIONAL_OEM\EMULEX_LIGHTPULSE_9000_FIBRE_AD in

\I386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ADDITIONAL_OEM\EMULEX_NEW_NAME

Burn the cd with a proper bootimage, ISO level 2, long Joilet names and it should work.
I do not know why this error does not happen with the original cd.

I also added additional RAID drivers on the cd so I do not have to push F6 during booting for my pc.
Make a new directory with a name of your choice in \I386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ADDITIONAL_OEM.
Copy the following files in that directory:
\WINXP\*.* or \WIN2K_XP\*.* on the driver-floppy
TXTSETUP.OEM in the root directory of the floppy.
Edit TXTSETUP.OEM in such a way that there are no references to other operating systems like Win98.
E.g. I added a Gigabyte RAID driver. The original TXTSETUP.OEM of the driver floppy was:

#
# TXTSETUP.OEM for IT8212 ATA RAID Controller
#

[Disks]
d1 = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Driver Diskette", \ITERAID, \
d2 = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Driver Diskette", \ITERAID, \WINNT
d3 = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Driver Diskette", \ITERAID, \WIN2K_XP

[Defaults]
scsi = ITERAID_2000

[scsi]
ITERAID_NT     = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller (Windows NT)", ITERAID
ITERAID_2000   = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller (Windows 2000/XP)", ITERAID

[Files.scsi.ITERAID_NT]
driver = d2, iteraid.sys, ITERAID
inf    = d2, iteraid.inf

[Files.scsi.ITERAID_2000]
driver = d3, iteraid.sys, ITERAID
inf    = d3, iteraid.inf

[HardwareIds.scsi.ITERAID_NT]
id = "PCI\VEN_1283&DEV_8212","ITERAID"

[HardwareIds.scsi.ITERAID_2000]
id = "PCI\VEN_1283&DEV_8212","ITERAID"

[Config.ITERAID_NT]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1
value = "Parameters\PnpInterface", 5, REG_DWORD, 1

[Config.ITERAID_2000]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1
value = "Parameters\PnpInterface", 5, REG_DWORD, 1

I changed that to:

#
# TXTSETUP.OEM for IT8212 ATA RAID Controller
#

[Disks]
d1 = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Driver Diskette", \ITERAID, \

[Defaults]
scsi = ITERAID_2000

[scsi]
ITERAID_2000   = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller (Windows 2000/XP)", ITERAID

[Files.scsi.ITERAID_2000]
driver = d1, iteraid.sys, ITERAID
inf    = d1, iteraid.inf

[HardwareIds.scsi.ITERAID_2000]
id = "PCI\VEN_1283&DEV_8212","ITERAID"

[Config.ITERAID_2000]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1
value = "Parameters\PnpInterface", 5, REG_DWORD, 1



I did the same for my MSI motherbord with RAID /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />

Hey - I was reading this forum as I had the exact same problem /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> It turns out I was trying to install the wrong driver off the disk that came with it - doh!

I have my drivers for my Promise Ultra 100 TX2 on a diskette.  When booting from the ViProtector 2.01 Desktop CD, it appears to ignore the fact I am hitting F6...any ideas why?  I havent tried to modify the CD yet.

 Problem was because directory name for Emulex LP 9000 was truncated for some reason.

I just purchased a Gigabyte GA-7N400 PRO2 (rev 2.0) MBD and did not recive a boot floppy for the raid controller. I was reciving the same error except it was on  another line (2018). I had to also create a driver disk just as the modified file listed above, however when I attempted to install the driver it also stated it was unable to find the following file iteraid.sys. I was able to locate the file on the cd and added it to the driver file. Mke sure you choose the correct version as they do provide an NT and win XP version, it installed like a charm. Just a note incase somebody runs accross the same.
Thx

I have the gigabyte GA-7N400 pro2 motherbord with two special edition western didital 80gB hard drives. I created a raid aray (raid 0) and have been unsuccessful in getting the windows XP installer to recodnize the windows xp ATA Raid controler drivers as mentioned above. when making the floppy disk with the XP drivers for the IT8212 ATA RAID Controler, you need to include the files from inside the windows2000/XP folder, along with the TXTSETUP.OEM and the file named ITERAID (with no extention) that is located in the drivers folder with the txtsetup.oem file.

Hey, guys! A you read the answers on the first page?
When I've read it, and when I compare the error number (18) with the
line number in txtsetup.oem, I found there a long string (longer then 31 byte),
so I edit my winnt.sif, vendor's txtsetup.oem, recreate an CD...
Maybe it'll be work... :-(

Let me know if your fix works.  Is the XP burner enough for reburning?  And what edits did you make?

I guess I need to be held by the hand and led.  I just copied the disk to my harddrive.  I have no idea from there.  I know something needs to be edited, how do I find it?  I know I'm soundin' pretty dumb here.  I just don't know anything about editing a program disk.  Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated. /unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' />

I came across same error when trying to load drivers for Promise IDE raid controller. I pulled down the drivers from Promise and copied them to a floppy, except I copied the driver from a folder to the root of the floppy (Did not transfer whole directory intact). Once I copied the whole WinXp folder to the floppy, the install program new exactly where to find the files (Very weird. Live and learn).  Keep directory structures intact. Don't remove files from directories.
