Which boot options are left?

Can you boot a real floppy? Boot PloP from floppy.

I don't understand.

Is that ide-USB reader a bootable device or not?

List the devices you have connected (or connectable) to that machine:

1. Hard disk drive
   
2. Floppy disk drive
   
3. CD or DVD disk drive
   

PLoP can boot from all 3 of them, of course if you ONLY have an internal hard disk there is NO way you can get PLoP on it unless you take it out and copy PLoP to it while it is connected temporarily to another running machine.

The Siginet's app is a "wrap around" the actual PLoP bootmanager:

That can run BOTH as "hdinstall":

http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#installhd

or "no install":

http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#noinstall

But SOMEHOW you need to have it on that machine.

Do you like to run windows from internal IDE hard disk?

Do you like to run windows from external USB-IDE hard disk?

Do you have another machine?

Attach USB IDE hard diks to another machine.

Partition and format the drive, example letter E:

Prepare XP installation files to letter E:

winnt32.exe /makelocalsource /noreboot /syspart:E: /tempdrive:E:

Attach hard disk internal at pentium 3 machine.

Well, miracles are outside the reach of most of us, or at least outside mine.

As said:

In other words we do have a program that may be able to add USB boot support to your PC (PLoP), but you have to find a way, ANY way to load and run it, you need "something" that is bootable on that machine, that can be a floppy or a CD, or another hard disk (previously prepared on another machine).
