Hi DanCh99,Thanks for your posting, Not sure if your instructions will meet my needs. So let me add a few more detail.I have a rather old computer(without CD rom, and any fancy gadgets such as USB) I need the DOS setup disks (any version will do) so I can run the initial setup (I think to partition the HD, etc.)The dos setup disk that came with computer are missing, hence I can't run the setup.DanCh99, if your instruction can create setup disks, (which I can then run initial setup on my computer) would you mind email that disk to me? Probably in zip form would be great.I'm quite happy to increase the points by a few hundreds as some form of rewards, ( I don't exactly follow your instructions on creating setup disks)thanks.
