Default Done!!! - Re-installing on laptop with no CD drive

We need to re-install Windows 98 SE or ME or 2K-Pro on a laptop that has
its
CD drive internal connection damaged. The floppy drive works though.



The task went off absolutely smoothly. Windows 2000 Pro was installed off
the hard drive.
The HDD was formatted and "sys"ed and then a folder created to copy the
entire contents of the install CD on another machine.
Did not even need the boot floppy to get to the hard drive prompt.
Just once the set-up process asked to verify the location of the install
files.
Thanks for the encouragement and very helpful information.
Regards and God Bless.


You're welcome, glad to see that things went well.
