in windows me, i've been trying to create a startup disk and i receive the
following error
the following error occurred "The file was not found"(error #2)
Set up could not finish opening a file on the source disk.
Source file C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\AOL\ACS\aspi2dos.sys
Destination file C:\WINEBDO.400\EBD\aspi2dis,sts=BASE2.CAB

Search for and locate the folder containing BASE2.CAB, usually either
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or C;\Windows\Options\Install but it can be
elsewhere even sometimes on a different partition, and when the installer
asks for a file point the program at that folder.

If you are still unable to create a boot floppy you can download the image
of a Win Me OEM boot disk from www.bootdisk.com. Download to your desktop,
double click to run and follow the prompts to transfer the image to a
floppy.

I tried your suggestion and it worked! Thank you so much, it was driving me
crazy and I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Thank you again.
