- Microsoft assumes that your system either has the ability to boot directly from a CDROM or that you will use a Windows 95/98/ME boot floppy to begin installing from a CD. The ability to create setup floppies has been dropped from Windows XP.
- If installing using an MS-DOS or Win95/98 boot floppy, run winnt.exe from the \i386 folder to begin Windows XP setup.
- Setup will not prompt the user to specify the name of an installation folder unless you are performing an unattended installation or using winnt32 to perform a clean installation.
