Current process:
1. Copied all files from my XP disk to a folder on D drive called "winxp".
2. My file system is FAT32. And I have a floppy drive in my computer.
3. Put in a Windows 98 bootdisk, reboot into DOS, format C drive, run
"smartdrv.exe".
4. Type - d:\winxp\i386\winnt.exe - to begin the install from D drive.
Questions:
1. How can I install XP from D drive if my computer does not have a floppy?
2. What if my file system was NTFS? Would this effect installing from D
drive?
3. If there is a way to install from D drive (without a floppy) can I still
format C drive first?
Any other hints about installing XP from D drive on a computer without a
floppy would
be appreciated. Thanks.
