Installing XP from HD?

Hi folks..

I have tried to fix my soundproblems in win98se with my v5 machine without any luck.
I have now realized that i probably need XP and the "stunning" firewall within :)
Well, better tha nothing i suppose...

Iīve ftp all the XP CD to the harddisk and well here i am now..
Itīs probably an easy thing, but i canīt run the install due to setupprogram.
I wonīt accept my filelocation...

Is there anyone that might have done this instead of moving the disk back and forward ?

I hope nayone might help me out..
Thanks in advance

If you e-mail your address in Sweden and the Windows product code for your Win98SE to the e-mail address in my profile, I will send to you a CD that you can copy to the harddrive in your i-o to run Win95SE with all drivers installed.

Be sure your i-o has the RISE cpu and NO Yamaha sound chip.

Hi Oldman.. RISE CPU ?
Hmm itīs a AMD K6-III 400 Mhz and the motherboard without a yamaha chipset..

Well, i would like to get the XP on system instead of Win98SE...
Will have the i-o running with Echolink system attached to Internet...

Would like to not use Zonealarm or any other crap...

But i will look for your mailaddress...

You don't need the entire WinXP CD. Only the i386 folder is needed.
Go to the i386 Folder. There's 2 different executables: winnt.exe & winnt32.exe. The first is only for running at DOS prompt; the latter is for running while booted in Windows. Note: the DOS prompt version also requires that "smartdrv.exe" be run prior to running "winnt.exe". Also note: WinXP has higher memory requirements, than does Win98SE. Won't install without a minimum of 64 MB.

The users on this board have determined that Netpliance sold i-openers with about six or seven combinations of chips and other features.

The i-o considered as version 5 came from the factory with a cpu made by RISE, a Trident Display controller, a VIA 82C686 'South Bridge' controller and Analog Devices AD1881 sound chip. The AD1881 is straight above the keyboard connector.

If your i-o has an AMD cpu that you did not install, someone has been inside your i-o before you. If that is so, do you know who you got the i-o from and if they tried to modify anything else other than change the cpu?

If the previous owner tried to connect to the sound circuits and failed, that could explain why the sound does not work. If that is what has been done, you may not get the sound to work.

If you know who you got the i-o from, ask them if they attempted to connect to the sound.

I remember _way back_ some people had sound problems after Opening the IO case... turned out, the sound slider button wasn't replaced right... just a thought...
