Load OS w/ no Cd-Rom?

[Erik Cominolli]

I'm trying to reimage a fujitsu Lifebook B series. It has
no CD-ROM but I can boot a floppy which gives me access
to an external CD-ROM. From there, it's not letting me
run Setup.exe from the Windows XP CD from the dos prompt.
It tells me that "this program cannot be run in dos
mode". I can't boot up into Windows because it is
extremley corrupted (BSOD). This notebook didn't come
with a standard resotre CD. Only a separate partition
with the setup files on it. I can't access that. How can
I get Windows XP setup to run?

Run the WINNT32.EXE file located int he i386 folder to
begin the install process from DOS.

Good Luck,
