Can't download Windows XP Pro SP2 startup disks from MSN.

[Guest monty1945@lycos.com]

At the MSN site, it says that you will be prompted to insert new

floppies when necessary, but what happens is that it tries to install

everything on one disk, and then I get the message that there isn't

enough room. Anybody know what could be wrong? And could I also save

the file to my HD, then write it to a CD, making a startup CD?

 

Thanks.

Try

or

 

http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

 

 

You can make bootable CD-DVD's, but I am not sure if it is a direct copy across of

the boot disk creator file. You can also set the CD-DVD device in the BIOS as

bootable (if a bootable disk is inserted), requiring no need for boot disks, other

than the exisiing one on the installation disk.
