| Hi,
|
| I need to re-isntall XP on my tablet PC that I bought from an used
computer
| store. Problem is, I have no CDROM drive nor floppy drive. The BIOS
| doesn't support booting other than floppy and hard drive. It does have
an
| USB slot for memory key but BIOS doesn't support boot off USB.
|
| I do have an adpater where I can put the i386 files onto the tablet hard
| drive, but how do I run the whole install from the same hard drive?
|
| Any help would be much appreciated.
|
| Simon
