    How to install XP without a CD?

    Having problem installing a piece of software on your system is frustrating. Do you want to find out how to install Win XP without actually having the Win XP CD?

    You can install XP from a USB drive, but you need to have some means of getting the XP installer onto the USB drive.

    Hi,

    Try This:
    Open up Add Remove Programs and click on the Windows Components button. In here, check off the IIS service and click Next. It will then prompt you for the Windows CD. When it does, click OK (even though we haven’t put one in). In the next window browse to C:\Windows\I386 and click OK. It should then start installing. During the installation it may prompt for the CD again. Rinse and repeat the exact same process by locating the I386 folder and it should install just fine.
