owen1978 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hello everyone!, Nice to join the forums.I've created a network share which holds the i386 folder, i use a dos network client to connect to the share.When i run winnt.exe, it goes to normal blue setup screen and makes a comment about not enough disk space being available even though there is a hard disk on the local pc.any ideas?

simply_simon Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I've tried running this way before using the same net boot disk. It may be to do with the location that XP is being run from.If you check out this page http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/arti...0&seqNum=6&rl=1 one of the switches is to specify where the temporary files and the installation goes. You could try that, specifying the drive letter you want.In the days of old, there would have been a switch to disable the error reporting (Disk space, memory etc.), but this no longer seems to be the case, where there is only a limited DOS support.
