Anyone know where I can get a list of error messages for Windows? It
would also be nice to find out the common fixes for those errors. I am
currently getting a consistent Error #214 on disk one of my 3.1 setup
diskettes. I can't find any documentation on this error from any source,
and my bookcase is full of books on Windows of all issues.
Any ideas? There must be someone out there who has hit this same error
message and worked around it. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this information on my TechNet CD. Let me know if it helps:

Source file is unreadable. This problem is probably due to drive
hardware problems, corrupt files or disks, or, if you are setting
up from a network, network problems. Setup error 214 can also be
caused by incorrect CMOS settings for floppy drives or third party
extended memory managers.
