In my youth, to install Win 98, I would always fdisk and format my HD, then copy all/most of the files from the Win98 CDROM to the HD.
Then, from the HD, I would launch Setup to install Windows.
The benefit was (1) it was fast to install, and (2) since it was loaded from the HD, the same HD was the location of the CAB files when any updating, etc., was needed. No need to get the CDROM and insert it.
Question: Can this be done with WinXP? Under FAT32? Under NTFS?
Hmmmm. My head hurts......
