Boot with the Windows XP cd and you will be able to insall XP where you
want.

Ok lets say I copy my XP cd to the D partition of my hard drive. Is it possible to install windows from that partition to the C partition? I'm asking a general question. I haven't tried to do anything. Was just wondering if it was possible?

John said:You don't need to copy the whole folder, you only need the i386 folder.
To launch the setup from the i386 folder on the D drive you would boot
the computer with a DOS/W98 boot disk and execute winnt:
d:\i386\winnt.exe
Of course, this would have to done on FAT32 drives.
