Default Is it possible to install XP if the XP-CD is pre-copied to a blankhard drive?

So, it it possible?


Yes.

Google could have told you that. ;-)


And actually, no. Google didn't tell me that.

I didn't actually come across anything or anyone who gave a catagorical
"yes" to that question, and certainly no one who claimed they've done it
(let alone explaining how).

If that's true, I haven't found it yet.

If you have, is there some reason you're not posting it?


You didn't/haven't asked how.

You asked is there a way/if it was possible.


And until you actually say how, then what basis do I have to believe the
accuracy of your answer?

How do I know that by answering "yes", that you have actually understood
the question? Others have put forward an affirmative answer, yet their
corresponding explanation as to the "how" indicates they did not
actually address or understand the question.

You seem (according to your own responses) just want to be given
the answers to the questions you ask.


I think any reasonable or rational person would have realized that my
question was framed in such a way as to invite an explanation of how to
do it (if indeed it can be done) and not simply to seek a "yes" answer
without the corresponding details. Clearly, in the context of the
question, an answer stating simply "no" is possible, while an answer
stating only "yes" is incomplete (if not useless) without the
corresponding details of how.

So, now I ask you how it can be done.
