You have to press s to use the one on the floppy. You get the message that windows already has that file, and to either press ‘s’ to use the one on the floppy or ‘continue’ to use the one on windows xp disk. Select the one that is already highlighted and press enter. Press ‘s’ and it will list a number of files. At some point it will tell you to press ‘s’ if you want to blah blah blah. As soon as the xp disk boots, you get a message on the white bar (bottom screen) to pres F6 for blah blah blah.
That’s why you need to save the files without the folder) You’ll obviously need a floppy drive.
open the corresponding folder (32-bit or 64-bit), there is another folder (driver), open this folder and copy the contents, paste in a floppy disk (if you save it with the folder, window will not be able to access it during installation. When you download the drives they’re usually in 2 folders. right click and select ‘change drive letter/path’ accept the first drive letter offered. There is a partition listed before the c partition. If this is your situation too, then go to your motherboard website and download raid (or SATA) drivers (make sure it’s 32-bit if your os is going to be 32-bit or 64-bit if you’re installing a 64-bit xp).įirst of all, you want to go to computer management (right click on computer and select ‘manage’). I was having the same problem, but I later found out that it was because of my hard drives which were on a raid 0 configuration.
