I am just stuck on the last DOS command line at the end with my hhd is back in the laptop. the final two run command lines are c:\smartdrv.exe goes thru, I get a disc cache status but the final command line c:\i386\winnt.exe will not load I keep getting "Bad command or file name". It boots perfectly in the desktop. I have gotten this far. Thank you William for your tutorial it really helped. I am grateful for any help or suggestions. Thaks for your time.

Just so you know I am installing this in a Thinkpad 240, 6gig hhd, 300mhz, 192ram. Also the OS I am installing is TinyXP, do you think this might be the problem? Also I did not use DOS to format the harddrive I used another desktop using a IDE USB connector.

Thank you again.
