| | Hmm you might want to find "Doc" for this one. The main thing I could say would be to have another computer and copy the cd to the hard drive then put the hard drive into the machine boot it and run the setup from drive, I use to do that with 98 on machine with no cd-roms, but I dont know if XP would lilke it too much but hey give it a shot why not. |
