I made a mistake by erasing-formatting the hard drive without creating a boot up floppy first. I've tried to use a boot up disk from another system but, unfortunatelly, that doesn't work properly.
Does anyone knows how to partition the drive and install the Windows CD without the boot up disk?

Thanks,

Makedon

Obviously you have another machine that's online, so go here:

You can boot directly off the CD - WAY faster than floppy installations. Mess with the boot device settings in your BIOS.
