Hi there
Just downloaded "win-xp boot disk" and its a torrent file
The file is only 2KB. so I guess its raw data that needs unpacking somehow
Anyone know how to do this please?
Thanks
If it's a .torrent, it's just a pointer to be loaded into your BitTorrent client so that it can find the servers to download the actual file.
A Windows XP boot floppy could mean one of two things. One, you want to install XP and you don't have El Torito to boot from the CD-ROM, so you have boot floppies instead (is that even supported in XP? more of an NT 4 thing to me). Perhaps you should use WINNT.EXE instead to bootstrap the installer from DOS.
The second is, it's possible to copy ntldr and boot.ini to a floppy to have a "boot disk" for NT based Windows, but it's coupled to the machine it came from and is just a pointer to which hard drive partition from which to load the kernel and supporting files.
When it comes to XP, it's not just one single floppy. You have to have several to load, and it'd be up to a bare NT console window.

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.
