If you mean to say that you want to boot from a DOS bootable floppydisk and then install Windows XP on the harddisk you can do it.
Follow the steps below:
Step 1
ower on your system and press DEL key
You will see a blue screen with some options on it in white. (you can only use your keyboard to navigate in this screen). Go to the Advanced Setup Options ---> then select Boot Priority ---> 1st Boot device to be Floppy drive , 2nd Boot device to be CD-Rom drive
Step 2:Insert the Bootable DOS floppy in your Floppy Drive. Press F10 to save the bios settings and exit. (Your system will re-start automatically)
Step 3: Let the Dos load from the floppy and A: shows up.
Step 4: Change the Command prompt to your CD-Rom drive's Drive letter, it will be D: or E:
Step 5: now type on the D:\ prompt -- setup.exe and press enter
Step 6: follow the prompts there after.
(Caution: Microsoft does not recommend this way of installing Windows XP, do this only if your Original Windows XP CD refuses to boot automatically)
