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.

Ok...I kinof didnt give all the info. You need to use the windows 98 boot disc and installl dos right. Then you use dos to open the WINNT file in the xp setup folder.
