Installing xp pro without FDD and SATA

[Colbaker]

Hi, I know there is a way to do this but cannot seem to find a link to a tutorial, Something like having to copy the whole dik to the hard drive and then editing some bits.

Anyone help?

get the drive you want.. extract it using 7zip or winzip to a folder, say C:\sata
make sure its got a txtsetup.oem folder in it...

now copy xpdisc to C:\xpcd (make sure to select all to get the hidden files too)

install nlite www.nliteos.com, and run it, choose C:\xpcd as your path

select driver integration, choose the driver from the c:\sata folder, choose textmode and the xp as the os in the driver section if it asks

go to burn iso, burn to disc


there are loads more options of extra things to do with windows -remove components, unattended setup etc that nlite can do too


-without a floppy drive, nlite is by far the easiest way to do it.

you need .net 2.0 framework installed to run nlite


any chance of making this a sticky mods!
