I got a new hard drive on my laptop, and i need to get an os on there. i have already formatted the floppy disk, and now i need to know what to type in the command prompt. how do i set the os up, and get windows installed?


  Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD.  You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
