    Fair enough, as far as I know that's legal, and within the forum rules, so let's leave it at that

    Okay, good luck!

    Ok, so when I went to download the files into C://, it said I didnt permission and it suggested that I download the files into my "Isaiah T. Feldt" folder. Should I just install the files there, and just copy and cut them in C://?

    Thanks

    So I moved the three files (Boot, Install, and the X14) to C:/, and it gave me this error.

    I tried putting them into a folder on my desktop, but I keep getting this error. I even "TookOwnership" of the folder.

    Was that run on a 64bit or 32bit computer?

    Wait, let's go back a few steps.

    Is the computer that you are trying to fix x64 or x86 (32 bit)?

    My laptop (the computer with the problem) is x86 (x32). Now that I think of it, I might of installed one of the files from the page with the instructions you did for that other guy. Im gonna delete them, and reinstall them to make sure that isnt the problem.

    Im pretty sure that was the problem.
    I can remember that the first time I installed that Install.wim it was about 2 GBs, but now its saying 3.3. So im pretty sure that's where I went wrong.

    Well, I tried again, and the problem still persists. I have no clue why it wont work. I googled the problem and it seems other people have been getting the same error.

    Re: "Error 2: Cannot find the file specified." [SSDP Descovery]

    Oh! That explains it. In your system specs, you listed that your computer is x64: "Vista x64", so I provided download links for x64 Windows.

    These are your links:

    http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent..../X14-63452.exe
    http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent....sta32/boot.wim
    http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent....32/install.wim

    "Windows Vista Ultimate x86 SP1 English (USA)"

    It should work this time!
