ok let me xplain this a little further i can't put XP Pro on a newly formatted HD because it won't read the Setup.exe file through DOS and so what i have done b4 was to install 95 then click on my computer and then the cd drive and do a full install of XP over top of 95 or 98 whichever the case maybe so the the transforability of 95 to XP doesn't matter. Its just that i can run the setup.exe file for XP once I have an OS installed on the HD. What i am trying to find out from someone thats more gifted is how to run the XP setup.exe file from a newly formatted HD(in DOS)
ALSO Windows 2000 does the same thing with not allowing the setup.exe file to be run through DOS??
