b. In Windows Explorer, select from the menu: Tools > Folder Options > View tab.
c. Check that the [show hidden files and folders] radio button is selected and the [hide protected operating system files] is unchecked.
d. Now copy the folders and files from your CD drive to the "XPCD" folder on your hard drive.

I'm using a computer that has Vista to do this. I don't see folder options anywhere. i got the xp sp3 iso from microsoft, burnt it with nero, and just copied the entire disc to a folder on my desktop. (if i double clicked, it wanted to install xp on my computer).... which, by the way, i would be happy to do if it would get reid of vista effectively?

going to try to build this thing now..... wish me luck

right away it can't find some i386 file. i have it searching......taking a while....meanwhile, I'm dl'ing the builder exe onto this XP machine...

ok...you can build it on Vista or Win 7. Just make sure you right-click and select "Run As Administrator".

In the folder you created from the CD, i386 should be right there.

did not find any valid install files. wtf....

created from which CD? should I run the XP install disc?

Put the CD in and look on the CD for the i386 files :)

Don't run the XP disc, just put it in your drive.

if i put it in, it wants to auto run.....

i right clicked and copied the whole disc to a file on my desk top.

here's what's inside the first layer:

there's no i386 folder. You just have a CD with XP SP3 on it, not the full installation CD.

If you google, you will be able to find one easily.

would you mind pointing me to a link? I keep going around in circles.... i don't have a torrent program.....and don't want one.....

does microsoft offer this full version for free? or is it all updates?
