Hi,
Does anyone know how I can install winXP through the hard disk but not the
cd-rom since it's faster.
My guess is,
1) create 2 parition, one for real OS installation, the other for temporary
storage of the windows CD.
2) Then somehow boot into the parition which contains the windows CD. Then
just do the normal installation
Is that correct? but what is the best way to creat the partitions? And how
can I boot into that partition? Thx.

Adrian, go here and get a bootdisk. www.bootdisk.com Then using
Fdisk you can create a partition and make it active.
You only need one partition. You can format it Fat32 from the bootdisk
also.
