ringfinger Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm trying to do the same thing with Vista. However, I've never tried to install XP from a HD either. My basic thought... I have a 40 internal drive on my laptop, no DVD drive. The drive is partitioned at 10gb/30gb, I figured there must be a way to copy the installations files to C:\ (10gb) and install Vista/XP via that drive to D:\ (30gb). May be a pipe dream, but if at all possible I'd like to know how. I've read in other places to copy the i386 folder to C:\ and use a Win98 boot disk to intialize the install to D:\, but not sure. Any ideas would be great. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarkar Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 i think it is the setup files...most probably it is corrupt or not present.. you have to copy all files.. not the i386 directory only..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
