You can easily install XP from the HD once you've copied all of the XP install folder over to the Libretto - no CD-ROM drive required afterwards. First of all it's a good idear to load smartdrv.exe in the ram before starting the installation. It will save you a lot of time. Second you can put parameters in winnt.exe in a dos session. Type winnt /? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- /s[:sourcepath] Specifies the source location of the Windows 2002 files. The location must be a full path of the form x:[path] or \\server\share[path]. /t[:tempdrive] Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified drive and to install Windows XP on that drive. If you do do not specify a location, Setup attempts to locate a drive for you. /u[:answer file] Performs an unattended Setup using an answer file (requires /s). The answer file provides answers to some or all of the prompts that the end user normally responds to during Setup. /udf:id[,UDF_file] Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database File (UDF) modifies an answer file (see /u).The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDF file are used. If no UDF_file is specified, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file. /r[:folder] Specifies an optional folder to be installed. The folder remains after Setup finishes. /rx[:folder] Specifies an optional folder to be copied. The folder is deleted after Setup finishes. /e Specifies a command to be executed at the end of GUI-mode Setup. /a Enables accessibility options. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assume your installation files are located on D-drive folder \Wxp\i386. Type in your DOS session - winnt /s:d:\wxp\i386. The /b floppyless option has been removed in XP from NT4/2000. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
