Installing IIS and Message Queing

IIS, Message Queuing, Windows XP, Server configuration

Installing IIS and Message Queing on a Gateway laptop. After selecting these components I am prompted for the XP Pro disk. I provided a disk and pointed to the proper location of files but machine refuses provided disk. I think it is looking for the original disk used to build this machine. I work in a very large government hospital and most machines are built from image on ghost server. I have no idea where the original disk is that created this image. Is there any way to "fool" the machine so I can use another XP Pro disk? It would save hours and hours of rebuilding a laptop.

After it rejects the disk it should give you an open file dialog box. Within this dialog you should be able to select the correct folder on the CD/DVD which has the files that it's looking for.

Windows has no idea which physical media was used to install it. It's just having a hard time finding the correct folder on the CD/DVD.
