How to find root directory in XP?

[Jeffwo]

As in bold in this paragraph....How to find root directoryon the XP CD...

To create a slipstreamed Windows XP-SP2 CD, first create a new folder called "xp" in the root folder of your hard drive. (You'll need about a gigabyte of free space.) Insert your original Windows XP CD, start Windows Explorer, and then navigate to your CD drive (usually D:\). Highlight everything in the root folder of the CD and copy it all to the C:\xp folder you just created.

lol: Root is not an actual folder named root.

It's the 'directory' which contains everything. If your CDROM is D:, your root is D:\

cd d:\

I have an auto body/paint shop. I fix and paint wrecked cars.

Maybe I can't do alot with puters but then again, how many of you can fix and paint a wrecked late model automobile?

BTW, I just finished fixin' up my personal pickup. New motor, transmission, changed color (inside and out) . Did all the work myself.

Pics soon!


LOL
