Did you ask me any specific questions in that other thread? Like how do you use those cables?

Listen man I'm not about to pUt my energy into typing the whole solution for you if I don't even feel that you are even there to participate. I had no idea if you had even seen those pictures I had posted for you.

can you explain to me a little better please

i cant go into to much detail as i do not have the time and to explain to someone that does not understand would take ages but basically you can buy cables to go between serial ports paralel ports or usb to transfer files (you would have to use dos or linux) you can make the serial ones yourself outa old mouse cables paralel ones outa old printer cables you just have to find a wirering diagram .... usb one has to be bought has circuitry in it due to voltages and such
so the easiest way would be to connect your 2 comps via a cable transfer the files off the cd to your laptop harddrive then install from your laptop harddrive try here for some dos network info

Ok, I see that you are not responding again. Let me ask you a question then.

Did you try a startup diskette to get to the DOS prompt? What is on the harddisk of the laptop presently?
