SYMPTOMS
========

During a Verify mode Setup, Windows 95 may ask for the original installation
disks or CD-ROM in order to copy files that are already present on the hard
disk.

CAUSE
=====

During a Verify mode Setup, Setup deletes a registry key that contains the list
of files that have been installed by Plug and Play. Since the list is empty,
when Windows 95 sets up the computer's hardware, it does not know the driver
files are present and copies them again.

RESOLUTION
==========

Provide the requested installation disks or CD-ROM, or choose to skip the
requested files. If the files must be copied, perform a normal Setup (not using
Verify mode).
