recommended that you load some disk caching driver, for example

The setup program copies all the operating system files to a temporary
folder and also creates an installation configuration and reboots the
computer.
For Windows NT operatin

systems the DOS mode setup pro

ram should be run
with /B key, otherwise instead of creatin

an installation confi

previous ones because it does not create a special installation

If you want to install the operatin

system in a certain boot context, you have to
create a new boot from floppy section, create the boot context for it, boot this
section from the Boot Menu, and reboot the computer to boot from CD-ROM
before getting to the Boot Menu.
