another tip. if you see a sw setup folder (hp) or ibm tools folder, don't delete them. they include the applications that come with the computer

I have to find a serial that's work with a hp I386 folder. I've delete the other folders.

Edit. I've just found the old one. I upload it to massmirrors

MassMirror.com - Download XP_install_without_xp_Cd.zip

Thanks Eric for this. I will keep it stickied since it is a great trick. I am downloading a copy myself so if it ever gets off the mirrors i can upload it myself.

I have updated the OP with the new link. So the first link in the post goes to this new download rather than that send space link that is dead.
