RE: File Settings and Transfer Wizard won't write Wizard CD
Posted by Michael on January 11th, 2006


I am having the same problem, pre-installed XP, no original cd and it does
not even give me the option of selecting to make a copy! Did you find a
solution? If so an answer would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael.

I am in the same boat. I know this is a couple months down the line; have you
found a solution? I also tried to network the computers together but was
unable to create a Network Setup disk. The message was that the Setup Wizard
"has detected that this computer has no floppy drives or other removable
media", but it has a factory-installed DVD=/-RW CD-RW drive.
I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.
