Ok...ok...eh eh Good morning and thanks to all of you for your replies. Well... i know perfectly that it's easier buying cd rom drive and install the OS, but there is something to tell: All operation must be made on a tablet pc fujitsu, that hasn't any kind of driver. I haven't a copy of old broken hard disc so i cannot use norton ghost An external drive is very expensive because unically for fujitsu This tablet pc was given with a special version of BIOS and OS to limitate use to a particular application. The only solution to use this tablet is to change hard disc preinstalling i:\386 and follow Philo's solution that seems very good. Have a nice day Jay

In this poi complete procedure to execute operations: Star from Floppy win 98 / Me Format a brand new Hdd in Fat32 By a second pc, put in your hdd i:\386 (Remember: we aven't any kind of periferral except floppy) Put in your hdd smartdrv.exe restart you pc by floppy and start smartdrv go into i:\386 and start winnt It works! Once i have completed setup of windows xp, obviously i have connected a normal cd drive by usb. Bye boys! have a nice Christmas and happy new year from Italy to all of you Jay
