Pointing to C:\ worked. When making the iso , it then got the cab files from i386. Thanks for you help.

See FAQ 27 you may be able to create a WinXP install CD.

The Acer \I386 folder is fairly similar to that on a real XP CD but is missing four files OEMBIOS.* (various extensions)
I do not think these files are required in pebuilder as they are not on my BART PE CD
They are required to install Win XP
