I just formated my computer today and try to re-install windows Xp through DOS. I run the setup from a file called i386 then the program called Winnt in the XP cd, this way my friend told me that it's the cleaniest way to install XP. Everything went well until the setup was copying files needed to install XP and it hangs. Then when I try again, i noticed something about SMARTDrive. It recommanded me to run SMARTDrive before I install XP. I don't know where to download the SMARTDrvie so i'm stuck here. Any help!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU
