I don't know how to do it in XP... Then again, I haven't explored it FULLY. 🙂 Search brought up nothing so I thought I'd ask - especially if it's as simple as previous versions of Windows.
I know it'll take a few more disks but I'm okay with that... just have a problem BOOTING with this CD! So I'll boot from floppies and install from there - hopefully.
MORE DETAIL:
I have a valid (really!) XP license but a lousy copy of the disk - it's not bootable. I want to be able to install fresh but so far the only way I can do it is to install my Win98SE first, then "upgrade" it to WinXP. Doing so is time-consuming, cumbersome, and sometimes introduces problems. That and I can't stand having to choose "Win98 or WinXP" on bootup! I've messed around so much with this I've actually got two versions of WinXP Pro on here and I have to choose which one I want to run! 😕 I just want to wipe it all, and reinstall a clean XP Pro but like I mentioned before, the CD is not bootable. [sigh]
What a PITA... Wish they gave me a full copy instead of just a lisence, but hey... you can't knock it when it's GIVEN to you. 🙂
