This is a windows98SE bootdisk that includes what you need to install
the "full" version of XP fresh and fast on a PC you need to start from
scratch.  Or, if you have a qualifying product one can upgrade and insert
your CD when asked. 

It includes 4 different universal IDE CDrom drivers tho the default,
cd1.sys will work on 99% of all PCs. If not, edit config.sys and change
cd1 to cd2 etc. to try the next generic driver. 

It includes a mouse driver, mouse.com, that you can run by typing mouse
if you want mouse support when editing files using Edit or other.

It includes an aefdisk folder which has aefdisk and docs to first wipe 
out ALL partitions on your hard drive with the command:

aefisk /delall

It includes a zerofill folder which has wipe to use to bring the hard 
drive back to factory specs with the command:

wipe 0       To wipe the C: drive aka fill it with zeros

Zap is also included which only writes the first 128 blocks with zeros. 
Docs for both wipe and zap are included. 

It includes delpart to selectively delete partitions including NTFS ones.

It includes the latest version of fdisk for large drives.  This will allow
you to create larger than 32 gig FAT32 partitions.  You can convert drives
to NTFS after XP is installed. 

It loads smartdrv by default to _really_ speed up the process. 

It includes directions in autoexec.bat when you run it for the best method
to install XP ie: 

"It's a nice touch to first make a folder on your HardDrive named
i386 and then copy the all the contents of the i386 folder from the CD to
it first. Then navigate to that folder and type winnt.exe"

However, the above method should NOT be used for later versions XP other
than the original.
