April 16, 200818 yr Hi to all,searched over the forum but didnt find anything like that. Probably to simple..I got the following problem...I would like to do a network install of win xp. I have read that one would need a distribution share. Which in my case is my computer named : Striker-FormulaI also need to put in the share the i386 Folder. I did that as well. Then I need to enable network boot on my other pc, did that as well.Well after that I am supposed to run a network boot utility, but I dont have any floopy drive. I only can use the CD-Rom drive. Furthermore , i have no clue which utility I am supposed to use. That is my current problem right now...and if I am not mistake, after I get the utility I need to run the net use z : \\Striker-formula\i386 command and then type z: and then run the winnt.exe command. After that the network install should initiate..Please advise!
