The notebook is a bare machine, with no system, no optical drive, and no floppy drive. How to install the XP system? The notebook only supports USB FDD, so only a USB boot disk can be made. But how to copy the I38 directory from the Windows installation disk to the notebook? The mobile hard disk can't make a USB FDD boot disk. So I don't know how to copy the I38 directory to the notebook. The I38 directory is about 500M. So the general flash drive can't hold it. How can I install the XP system in this case?

You also said that to install XP, the I38 directory is necessary. Since there isn't such a large flash drive, try using USBASPI.SYS, USBMASS version 4.05, or USBENAB version 4.05 to drive your external hard drive.

I placed USBASPI.SYS into my USB boot disk, then added DEVICE=usbaspi.sys in config.sys. After restarting, I got "The following file is missing or corrupted: command.com type the name of the command Interpreter(e.g., c:\windows\command.com.

What's the matter here?

Also, when I executed several executable files in the http://www.cn-dos.net/forum/view...p;highlight=USBMASS under DOS, the machine died. No response.

The following file is missing or corrupted: command.com type the name of the command Interpreter(e.g., c:\windows\command.com

DOS didn't find command.com
This has nothing to do with loading usbaspi.sys. Check if there is SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM in config.sys... If there is, change it to SHELL=COMMAND.COM... Then check PATH

Parameters of USBASPI.SYS

It is best to post the config.sys and autoexec.bat.

The problem is corrupted:command.com type the name of the command Interpreter (e.g., c:\windows\command.com Then the cursor just stops at A> here, and pressing any key shows corrupted:command.com type the name of the command Interpreter. So I don't know what to do.

Does your USB flash drive support USB-FDD boot?

That is to say, the partition used for booting on your USB flash drive should be 1.44MB.

If not, DOS cannot boot normally.

Sweat......HIMEM.SYS didn't load USBMASS, so it crashed

I used usboot - v1.68 to make a USB flash drive bootable. After making it, I didn't see config.sys, only three files: IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM. So I can't add Usbaspi.sys to config.sys.

After confirming that the USB flash drive is formatted in FDD mode, put these 5 files in the root directory of the USB flash drive, see the attachment

After I formatted with fdd, I copied the files from temp.rar to the flash drive. But after booting, the following appears:
The following file is missing or corrupted : DI1000DD.SYS
corrupted:command.com type the name of the command Interpreter(e.g., c:\windows\command.com

What does this error mean?
