i'm trying to install windows xp on a system that doesn't boot from usb and i have no cd-rs and it is a daunting task that has taken me over 2 days now

i managed to rebuild the boot.ini but now the bootstrapped xp install can't see the usb drive to install from ... so i'm once again booting from a really slow ubuntu 10 livecd to copy them off the flash drive to the partition... this is cursed

Follow

@jake no since this is coming _from_ the MBR. somehow a broken boot.ini got installed fresh
