Creating the Setup Disks
When you
download the Setup disks, the download
contains only one large program file.
When you run the downloaded file, it
extracts the files. You receive the
following prompt:
This
program creates the Setup boot disks
for Microsoft Windows XP. To create
these disks, you need to provide 6
blank, formatted, high-density
disks.
Please
specify the floppy drive to copy the
images to:
Type the
drive letter for the floppy disk drive
(this is typically drive A). After you
type the floppy disk drive letter, you
see the following prompt:
Insert
one of these disks into drive drive
letter:. This disk will become the
Windows XP Setup Boot Disk.
Press
any key when you are ready.
When you
press a key, the downloaded file starts
extracting and copying the files.
Continue inserting the blank disks as
you are prompted to do so until all six
disks are created. If the process is
interrupted you must run the downloaded
program file again to create all six
disks.
Make sure
to label each disk appropriately with
the number that is specified by the
program. You will have to use the disks
in the correct order during the Setup
process. |
