I am having difficulty installing Windows XP on an older system that does not want to boot from a CD, even though the BIOS has settings indicating it supports booting from CD. I tried the 6 floppy XP boot set & had errors, then I copied the i386 folder to the freshly FAT32 formatted hard drive & ran winnt.exe like you can do in Windows 2000. I got an error "Setup was unable to copy the following file..."

Have any of you successfully installed Windows XP from the i386 folder on the hard drive?

I would be interested in links to tutorials on the Internet as well. I have Googled, but not found any so far.

Thanks!

Dave
