Droiyan3 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arie Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Simply download a bootdisk which supports various network cards (use Google) and burn a bootable CDR using this bootdisk image for the bootsector, or whatever it's called in Nero - Burning ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
