I've got this problem right now: both my CD-ROM and floppy drive are broken. I formatted the system and need to reinstall it. Is there any way, without a CD-ROM or floppy drive, to send the boot system files from another computer onto my hard disk so I can boot from the hard disk and reinstall the system? Hope an expert can point me in the right direction.

Using a virtual floppy drive, you can boot from the hard disk and reinstall the system on the hard disk!

A virtual floppy drive? I'll look for it, thanks QWE
I also saw on our forum that a USB driver can be used, and my motherboard supports that too, so I'm trying it
Learned something new again, thanks qwe

There is a way to install GHOSTXP: use MAXDOS5。6PXE to do it through network cloning!
A completely fresh installation won't work!

You can download a GHOST version of the system
Install software like MAXDOS and restore it
