I fixed it! Yay! Thanks for your help it helped me figure out the right way to do it. Anyway for anyone who had the same problem. I ran a windows 98 boot disk (which suddenly started working) with smartdrive on it and used it to format my hard drive to FAT32. Then I used it to run smartdrv and boot the XP setup (d:\i386\winnt). It was straight forward from there. Thanks again for your help! Carl

Very nice Glad you got it sorted. Most don't catch when setup says "examining hardware configuration" in the very beginning of the process. Windows looks for all that @ bootup-- and if it does not see it- it "panics" and shuts down.

Very creative solution you came up with there... good job.
