Please tell me the command to install XP under DOS. As detailed as possible, thanks!!!!

Extract SETUPMGR from X:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.rar on the XP disc, and that has the most detailed commands for xp's winnt and winnt32...

There's even such a thing, really learned a new trick today.

Then how do I use these commands under DOS???

This is the automatic installation file I put on drive A:, just modify it... :
@ECHO OFF
LH A:\MSCDEX /D:IDE-CD >NUL
A:\smartdrv 2048 >NUL
E:\WinXP\I386\winnt/u:E:\WinXP\unattend.txt /s:E:\WinXP\I386 /t:
CLS

Copy I386 to the E:\winxp directory, /t <-——install to drive D: ; the automatic installation file is under E:\winxp ; first use setupmgr to make the automatic installation file: unattend.txt

What do @ECHO OFF and >NUL mean?
Also, if I want to install from CD instead of using drive A:, how do I do it?

If the CD-ROM drive letter is x, then in dos switch to x: , then cd i386 , winnt and that's it... load smartdrv first

What's the use of adding 20480 after smartdrv?

Search the forum for " smartdrv"

Where exactly should the command to load smartdrv be added?? Before cd i386? Or after entering winnt???? Also, I tried entering cd i386 in DOS before and it seemed not to work. I'll write it out, please help me see if it's right:
format c:/u/q
Name of drive C::（SYSTEM）
F:\cd i386
winnt
Can XP be installed like this??? If it needs to be loaded, where should it be added???

format...
f:\>
f:\>cd i386
f:\i386>
f:\i386\>winnt works
Installed 98? smartdrv is under windows if it's installed; if not, find the 98 installation disc, it's in there; or just boot from a floppy. Better yet, download wingier's boot disk from the forum. After booting with it, at A:\ type smartdrv 4096 , press Enter, then ->cd f: (your CD-ROM drive), then winnt.
Actually you'd be better off just spending a bit over 10 minutes installing 98 directly, then installing from within 98, much faster than dos...

Install directly in 98???? Please explain how to do it???? (a bit more detailed please) : )

Hehe, you've got me dizzy too; ^-^ In 98 just open the CD F: ; click setup and that's it.

I know how to install 98! But then to install WINXP, do I just put the CD into drive F: and run it???
Sorry!! I'm a newbie, please don't laugh at me : )
