Clean Install?

[xmyxgiantx]

Hey guys, how do you do a clean install of WinXP from DOS. I just formatted a HD and I dont want to have to set up 98 then XP. When I type setup.exe it says "this program cannot be run in MS-DOS mode"

Run winnt.exe from the \i386 directory. Or better yet, boot off the CD.

1. Set BIOS to CD boot, then follow wizard to install.
2. Create boot disk set from XP, then boot from floppy/CD boot disk and follow wizard & install.
3. Download boot disk, then boot from floppy/CD boot disk and follow wizard & install.
