Install XP without CD or FLOPPY
Hi, I currently have Windows XP Pro on my PC, I got a second hard drive in my PC which Id like to put XP Home onto, I have a copy of Home but it isnt bootable. When I put the CD in it wont let me go threw the installation as its not possible to downgrade so to speak, Is there a way I could copy the files onto the 2nd hardrive and get them to boot up? I have no floppy etc, Any ideas would be great! Thanks! Scott.

And I won't discuss or help you to do it any illegal way  But if possible you could put it into a new PC and install it then remove it and put into the one you want it in. You could also create a partition on the Primary HDD and install it there - or have it on a "Virtual PC" or emulator. But I don't understand why you want to dual boot 2 versions of XP?
