Hi,
        If the computer will boot off the CD drive, place the WinNT cd in the
drive (the two CD copies I have seen, one was a WinNT cd and the other is
an Option Pack cd).  Set the computer to boot from the CD and it will run
the setup.  The NT setup will run its own partitioning and formating
program during setup.  There is a way to create the three NT boot disks, if
your computer will not boot from the CD.  I believe the program is
Winnt.exe or maybe Winnt32.exe.

HTH,
Donald Gaither
