So some questions:

To reinstall from c:/I386, do I run WINNT.EXE or SETUP.EXE??

If I wanted to make a bootable disc from c:/I386, should AUTORUN
point to WINNT.EXE or SETUP.EXE??

thanks again

You may also request a set of reinstallation discs from the following link:

Make sure that you have completed the Dell Change of Ownership, prior to submission:

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/change_order/tag_transfer?~ck=ln&c=us&cs=RC957240&l=en&lnki=1&s=bsd

you cannot use the I386 folder to reinstall XP. request a set of backup CDs and use that instead.
