Hello,
My laptop (P3, 500Mhz) had an external CD ROM drive which I lost.
I did the following to install XP:
I moved the HD from this Laptop, inserted it to another Laptop, installed XP
on it and then put it back.
When I turned on the laptop it will not boot only gives choices between
"Save Mode" etc. and whatever I chose it went back to that screen.
How can I install XP without a CD ROM?
Thanks,
AJS
I'd be very suprised if it's not possible. I'm sure i've done it.
You copy the win xp setup cd from CDROM to HDD.
Then you run the setup installation file.
Fairly obvious really. People did similar with win98 sometimes too.
running setup.exe
With Win XP or Win NT generally, the setup installation file probably
just has a different name.
If anybody dismisses it without trying it first, they're idiots.
