Starting from a W98 boot floppy, the installation starts to copy files but
then just stops and waits forever.
Starting from the downloaded XP boot floppies, the install comes up with an
error #7 saying it cannot copy the NTKRNLMP.EX_ file on disk #2 and exit is
the only option. If I boot from the CD it stops saying it cannot find the
end user licence agreement.
I have to do a clean install, any suggestions?
