jacmatsu Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Can anybody tell me how to install winxp from hard disk?I have a harddisk 50GB, and I did two partitions over there, eg. N: driver for install winxp, this driver has about 20 GB; O: driver is stored WinXP Pro software.I ever downloaded startup disk (6 floopy disks) from Microsoft, then use them for rebooting. However, it needs CD-Rom support for installing winxp, because finally it needs reboot from CD driver, but I don't have CD for winXP, I just store WinXP Pro in the hard driver. Please give the steps for installing Win XP Pro with no CD-ROM support.Thanks a lot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisabledTrucker Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Just go here: Finalising your Unattended XP CD and download the files you need there, you don't need the M$ version, it also compiles your XPCD to an ISO file for you so it's ready to burn to CD/DVD, which you can do with DVDDecrypter, Nero, or the like. You can also just pull that file from the download for CDImage_Pro/Home (*dependant on your version of XP*) which is on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
