I've gone in and installed windows server or whatever I have around. Quit out right after it gives me the option of deleting the partition, which I do...
Hit F3 to quit several times... Install the xp cd in and boot... Gives me the same advantages as having a dos floppy Virgil Bierschwale http://www.tccutlery.com http://www.bierschwalesolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 11:31 AM To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: RE: [NF] Installing <cough,cough> XP... fails to go past inspecting hardware Whil, Serioualy though, 1. Win98 boot cd, boot up with cdrom support and format the disk from there. Either that or boot up the Win98 setup disk as though installing Win98 then exit at the "are you sure" prompt using F3 (I think) back to dos prompt and use fdisk and format from there. 2.

Hmmm. Where the hell am I gonna find a DOS boot disk? For that matter, where the hell am I gonna find a floppy drive? This box comes in any color as long as it's black, but it doesn't accept American Express, and it doesn't have a floppy drive.
