5 hours.

Hahaha.. yea 5 hours... Pretty sad aint it? All my clients computers took less than an hour to setup... Anywhoo

Here's my list of problems i had to go through

1. XP CD Boot wouldnt let me reformat, had to use a regular boot disk
2. Floppy drive was dead so i had to find another
3. Thought second floppy drive was dead as well, turned out to be a bad disk
4. Finally booted to the floppy, when i formatted my 80gb drive only registered as 10gb
5. XP setup wouldnt install, kept saying "No EULA found"
6. Then i couldnt boot to floppy anymore because the XP Installiation took over my whole boot sequence
7. After 45 of cursing up a storm, finally got floppy to boot
8. Formatted again
9. Now with 80gb drive showing, tried installing again, but installiation froze
10. Formated once more
11. FINALLY installing xp, keeps saying files are missing here and there while installing, but gives me the option to skip.
12. Complete

Whew... That was a bitch.

Why the EULA problem?
I have to do this Friday, and I don't want any trouble.
