i start setup windows xp in dos with winnt.exe. but many times it gives this error : "not enough memory to setup"(like this). i use win98 dos, and universal tcp/ip boot disk.

thanx

Check if your bootdisk loads up emm386 or an equivalent program to access the extended memory.

Seeing as DOS only can work with 640k at default, so if no memory program (like emm386) is started, then Winnt.exe only sees 640k of memory, which obviously isnt enough..

Furthermore, load up Smartdrv.exe before you start the windows setup, this will decrease the time setup takes a lot!

Hope this helps
