Hello,
I have recently bought a laptop which is nice and small but unfortunately it doesn’t have an internal cdrom and floppy, but allows usb devices. I cant install windows xp on the laptop and the laptop only wants the manufacturers floppy device to boot, (which is expensive and very hard to find in uk). I do have my other laptop and so i took the hardisk out and put my new laptops hardisk in it and tried to install xp (which worked)i put the hardisk back in to the other laptop and windows crashed. does anyone have a idea as to how i can get windows to install from the hardisk, like maybe i can copy the contents of the cd on the hardisk then put the hardisk back over to the other laptop and install xp, (any suggestions as to alternatives or software out there that can help me!!!)
