Laptop with no OS

[blackhat]

I've run into this alot. I use a Win98 start disk which loads enough "stuff" to give you cd-rom support. Load the OS, Then take out everything the Start Disc loaded that you dont want. DRB

The model P1500 touchscreen can accomodate WXP,and has support in the bios for booting with a usb optical drive.I don't believe your model does,it's too old,but I see that there is a pcmcia cd rom for that model.

blackhat is right

you should also format the disk so that it is partitioned for fat32.

you can then transfer the system files onto the computer for cd access.

dos cannot read an ntfs file system

Well, he says its windows xp I he is trying to install.

Someone also suggested to download winxp and copy it over to four floppy discs, and use those to install the os. Could that be worth trying?
