Run your WIN98 startup disk and navigate to your CD drive, change directory to I386 (CD I386) ad type WINNT, the setup for XP should start running. ]Howard Rubin Fortaleza, Brazil RE: Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 09:45:40 -0700 From: Kyle Elmblade <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: windows xp pro install It sounds like you are trying to run setup after booting to a DOS prompt. I've never tried this, but I don't think it will work. You would need to either make startup diskettes, or boot from the CD. More information on exactly what steps you are taking to do the installation would be extremely helpful.
