Hello,

I've run C:\I386\winnt.exe for a WinXP install, but after the copy of system files, the machine hang, and say that it is busy with copy of files.

I've read that you have to use SmartDrv, but my version only takes MS-DOS 6.0 while my setup is on my FAT32-partition?

Does someone can help me?

Bye,

Thanks
Jelle

Jelle,

Do u have the full XP CD? If your answer is yes u can create the boot disks and start it from there. U can also use a second HD. Copy the XP installation files to that second drive (slave), boot from a floppy with smartdrive and start the installation process. Good luck!
