Error during Upgradation SCM 5.0 to SCM 5.1 Non-Unicode System

Question

Hi,
I am Upgrading SCM 5.0 Non-Unicode System to SCM 5.1 Non-unicode on Windows 2003 Server with MSS 2005 DB. During the initial PREPARE (EXTRACTKRN_PRE) phase I am getting an error like
init
2010/06/15 07:03:45 PREPARE: START OF PHASE EXTRACTKRN_PRE
ERROR: Cannot find file 'C:\SCM_2007_Upgrade_Media\51033508_8\NW_7.0_SR3_Kernel_WINDOWS__LNX_X86\KN_WINDOWS_X86_64_AUPG
KERNEL.TOC'
SEVERE ERROR(S) OCCURRED IN EXTRACTKRN_PRE !!!
The file name it is looking for does not exist in any of the Kernel versions I have checked. If I try to skip this step it is asking for the PASSWORD. How can I get this password? (only from SAP Support or any note?).
What is the Solution for the above ERROR. Please help.
Thanks,
Ajay.

All people cant check all the groups to answer. Moreover I am not keeping the questions > open. As soon as I get the answer I am proving the answer in every group and immediately closing the question.

This is not wanted as written in the "Rules of engagement". This is a public forum, not a "help desk".
> OK, As you said If I post only in a single group do you guarantee that you will check every time all the groups to answer my question/ find my question?
Again, this is a forum where the question are answered on a volunteered basis. "Demanding" help is not the way to go, you can ask for help but there's no guarantee that you'll get an answer. If you urgently need help use the official support channels or get yourself a consultant on-site who can answer all your question instantly.
> And please paste the URL of those rules that this is wrong. Since I didnt read that.
It's the first entry in every forum, it contains the "Rules of Engagement" which say:
Please do not Cross post.
Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Just imagine if everyone like you would paste questions in several forums.
