Ok so i have a laptop that does not have a cdrom nor a floppy. Its fast enough with enough ram for xp. The only solution that i found was removing the hdd and using a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter put the HDD on my desktop, install xp that way then put the Hdd back to the notebook. Well it gives me a STOP error and does not boot not even in safe mode. Im using NTFS. IS there a solution that you guys know of? I know there's nothing wrong with the laptop cause i got it working with a copy of xp in Japanese!!!!! yeah its a small japanese sharp PC-PJ120H. Thanks a million in advanced..
how big is your laptop hd as could make the hd bootable & copy the xp contents off the cd onto the hd & type setup to install xp.
see if can make the drive bootable than copy the xp cd on to the hd than bootup on it & type setup. how much ram is on the laptop??
take the hardrive out and patition it put the complete xp image on the second patition put a copy of win 98 on too install win 98 on the first partition put it back in the laptop you should have an o/s if it needs stuff tell it to look in d:/win98 when it's loaded hit the xp setup
