Reinstall from \I386 ?

Guest

I may have to Reinstall XP home on my nfts drive to fix a bad modem driver that I can’t remove. I have a Sony Viao and they didn't give me a real XP disk just the complete idiot disk and we are almost on XP sp2 and "oem slipstreaming " seams way to complicated. So why can’t I copy the \I386 directory to the root dir in dos and then do a in place reinstall from there or can I use another copy of xphome to install from.? The Sony the complete idiot disk would try to reformat my drive to A 20gb fat32 partition so I can’t use It
?
