I've just got a new laptop from Novatech, without XP as I have this on a CD.
When I put the CD in to boot from it it flashes up
"Boot CD-ROM Type : Non-Emulation Booting" and then hangs.
Anybody help on this?
Cheers

can you start it with a floppy and
then run setup from the CD ?

Will it boot from any other bootable CD-ROM?
If so, make a DOS bootable CD with everything that you need to make the
hard drive DOS bootable with CD-ROM support.

Great minds thinking alike!
I've just created a DOS bootbale CD and am able to boot from it. Formatting
the drive now - I should be able to install XP from command line?
(i386/winnt.exe)
