Matthew... How did you get XP installed on your L100? I've just bidded on a 40GB Hitachi hard drive. Your enthusiasm has pushed me to make the plunge to upgrade to XP. I was thinking I would copy the installation directory onto the new formated drive since I have the DOS drivers for my Addonics pc card cd-rom drive. (I did this when installing Win98SE.) But according to the archives XPs "setup.exe" is not recognized in DOS. Did you install Win98SE then XP? BTW, I have the full version of XP not the upgrade.
