- Create a distribution server that has a file share containing the contents of the \i386 directory from the Windows XP CD-ROM.
- Allocate 1.5 GB minimum plus 100 - 200 MB free hard drive space to hold temporary files during installation.
- Install a network client on the target computer or use a boot floppy that includes a network client. Run winnt.exe from a file share on the distribution server if installing a new operating system or winnt32.exe if upgrading a previous version of Windows.
- The client system must have a pre-existing FAT16 partition (MS-DOS & Win 95) or FAT32 partition (Win95 OSR2 & Win98) to hold setup files copied across the network.
