If you can see the drive in dos, there is NOOOO reason to make the winxp bootdisks, there only for legacy systems that are very old.
The proper way to install winxp from dos is to first run smartdrv. If you have a win98 cd, its in <cdrom>:\win98\smartdrv.exe or on winme <cdrom>:\win9x\smartdrv.exe. If you make a bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com, the win98se one has smartdrv already in it. Once youve run smartdrv, you just switch to the cdrom drive (so e: or whatever), then type cd i386, then type winnt.exe. That's it. However the proper way to install winxp is to boot from cdrom. To do this put in cd, restart, it'll say Press any key to boot from cd..., press any key. This way you do not have to run smartdrv or anything. If you dont get this message, you either need to update the bios, or change the bios boot order. To do this you enter the bios (press enter or del when pc starts), and change boot order, make sure the cdrom is listed before hard drive. -gosh |
