    stick the CD in another machine. Go to the I386 directory and type WINNT /?

    There should be a command option to create setup disks only.

    in DOS from i386 dir
    run winnt/ox
    This creates the 3 boot disks you lust after.

    Ta lads.

    The comp is a royle pain in the a**.
    It wouldn't boot from the NT cd or the Boot disks that i got off you's, I had to make a 98 boot disk, go to DOS, and use the command

    d:\i386\winnt /x

    go figer

    Thanks anyway lads
