Hi,
I have formatted my C: drive in which WIN98 was installed. I have a bootable floppy and I booted my machine using this floppy. When I run SETUP (EXE) from WINXP CD, it says:
"The SETUP cannot be executed from MSDOS".
Please provide feedback on how do I install WINXP through MSDOS OS?
Any valuable suggestions would be really helpful!!
Thanks!!

I do not see the reason for you booting in MSDOS and then trying to load the XP setup VIA MSDOS...
I would simple place the XP in the ROM and restart then let it boot from there...
I dont see why that wouldnt work???
If you already tryed this is there some more details you could give?

make sure in the BIOS that boot from CD is higher than HD, then with the windows xp cd inside the drive u'll get a message saying "press any key to boot from CD", now press something.
follow the screens and enjoy.
almost forgot,
after the point where it copies the files (after the format) the computer will restart then u'll get that "press any key to boot from CD", this time don't press anything.

Thank you guys for the reply!!
Yes currently in BIOS, Floppy disk is the first bootable option followed by HD and CD. Yes I will change those options....
I made a small mistake by booting WIN 98 from floppy and tried running "SETUP" from the XP CD which didnt allow me to run SETUP from MSDOS version.
I will try booting my machine from CD and then execute the SETUP command and check...
Thanks again!!

Thanks for the info Bharat.
I have installed the XP in my machine but I have another problem now. I am not sure where I am wrong.
The XP gets installed with lowest resolution and does not display the icons,images properly. I am not able to change the resolution from properties window.
Any suggestions on this would be really helpful!!

Hi all,
I can not install CF 2.0 SP 1 on an Symbol PPT8800 running WinCE 4.2.
The Install-Log say's cgacutil.exe failed with exit-code 80000004 and I get
a messagebox indicating a support-Info '3'. This would mean I would not have
enough space on my device. But I hard-reseted it befor I tryed to install and
I have no other processes running while installing.
Any ideas, whats going wrong???

Sorry for the possibly silly question.
Am i right in saying that the C library i use on a windows machine
