Installing Win XP

Hi guys, got a question to ask. Let's say I've got a motherboard which doesn't allow me to save anything to BIOS. And I've got only 1 HDD in the PC that this motherboard is in. The HDD is 60 gigs. Assuming that I don't have any other OS on this HDD, then how would I be able to install WinXP on this particular PC? Thanks for any and all help.



(Note: No booting from CD-ROM 'cos the BIOS goes nuts when you try to save something to BIOS and it has to be resetted via the motherboard jumpers.)
 
Go to the MS site & get the boot floppy program for xp. Sorry don't have the link. This will create six floppies for you to boot from. That's about it. Boot up with I assume the first floppy & away you go. Have the cd ready to insert when prompted.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
