Cannot Access Scandisk Error During Network Install of Windows Millennium
This article was previously published under Q250027
When you install Windows Millennium Edition (Me) from a network share that is longer than eight characters you receive the following error message:
Setup: Scandisk
Cannot access the file \\machinename\sharename\%install path%\scandisk.exe. Make sure the file is a valid program file and that is not in use by another program.
When you click
OK the message below appears:
Windows Millennium setup: Setup does not have enough conventional memory to check your computer's hard disks. You need to free some conventional memory before continuing.
To work around this issue, map a network drive to the installation point or create a shortcut to the Setup.exe file, adding the following switch at the end of the command line, as in the following sample:
\\machinename\sharename\Setup.exe /is
This disables real-mode scandisk and stops it from running.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
