-null- Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I want to install a clean Windows XP Pro installation onto my laptop. I bought the XP Pro upgrade since the laptop only came with the Home version and it is this I'm using to build my installation disk.I successfully slipstreamed SP3 and the drivers into my installer and used LPInstaller to create a USB to run the installer from (since the laptop's optical drive no longer works).The problem I have is that because it is an upgrade disk I'm using I am asked to insert the disk I am upgrading from however with the optical drive not working I can't do this. Is there a way I could include the necessary XP Home files with my Pro installation so it doesn't ask for the XP Home disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-null- Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Or is there any way to make setup look in a location other than the installation drive. I have plenty of space left on the USB key where I could copy the XP Home files onto if I could direct setup to look there instead of the drive it is running from.
