You need to boot the system to a dos prompt (if oyu have a dos boot disk or similar) and type:

winnt /ox

This creates the three setup disks onto blank floppies.

winnt32 is the upgrade path from winnt 3.51

what about installing using the /b command at the prompt -- (cd drive):\i386\winnt /b to start the install. This allows you to install without the boot disks
