Your system must bet set to boot from the floppy drive. Install Windows XP? Please continue. Command prompt will appear. Use this utility to delete all partitions on the disk drive. Restart the computer with the floppy disk inserted. The computer will boot into DOS again. A blank, blue window should appear. Your computer should now boot into DOS at command prompt again. It will also perhaps nag you about smartdrive not being installed. Just ignore it and continue setup anyway.
I'd tell you how, but it would make this thing even more complicated. It may also ask you about the location of the setup files. The default path is D:, which should be correct. Reactions: sega dude.
Nice job, Rick. Turn it into a "Sticky". Not sure if it deserves a sticky It's an answer to a fairly specific question. My way: 1. Download custom Windows 98SE bootdisk from www. Make the floppy 3. Boot from the floppy. Create and format a partition for w2k setup. All the tools you need are on the floppy. Reboot from the floppy 6. Run smartdrv from the floppy to make things go faster 7.
Optional use the xcopy command to transfer the i folder to the HD. Run winnt. With instructions. It will create the 4 boot disk set. To install the OS just Put disk 1 into the floppy drive set your PC to boot from Floppy and reboot then follow the instructions. It'll take you through the install but copy the initial driver pool from the floppies then load the CD after it is done with them.
Very true Rick That's fine. I wanted to mention that to, but I think I neglected that in my original post. So I might add the bootable diskettes in there too. I don't know if hotswapping will work? Surfer Sam. I need more info on how to do this. Thanks in advance, sam. I have never heard of this being possible. Windows is put on CDs for copy protection. I have followed your instructions and the computer hasnt worked.
