Hi Jack, You obtain a bootable cd, create an iso of that and add the .sif file to your i386 folder using a tool which will let you edit the iso file and then burn that back to a cd, giving you a bootable cd on which windows will find the answer automatically. The only thing is to catch that "press any key to boot from cd" message as it comes up on-screen by hitting the spacebar repeatedly when you start the machine, then your off to the races. If the bios isn't set to boot from cd first then you need a flopp with the answer filey

Now, this is for a floppy drive. Not sure how you do it without one. If anyone knows, please let me know. Once you fill in all the information that's appropriate for your computer, you save the file as a .txt file. Then, after you save it, you change the extention from .txt to .sif.
