Flibble love
This is the first use i've found for him after purchase.
Well, if you discount intimidating my cats with it.

They're toying with you.

TJ:
Any idea how to reinstall Windows XP without a cd? Or a I386 file? I've just been given a German-language-loaded computer and I apparently have to reinstall XP to get it into Blighty-speak. I've got lovely genuine key numbers, but no bloody disk...

I've not dealt with that specific situation before.
However I know it's sometimes possible to pull up an installation from local disk if the cab files are there. That may be worth looking into. I know it's a bit of a maze but microsoft's support site is worth checking out.

Gaz Pasanonic, he's terribly well informed on these types of things

Nope.
It doesn't seem to do a thing except tell me that the language is now 'Englisch (Grossbritannien)'
Unless the computer was also loaded with muisetup.exe (which it isn't as they only give it to large companies), it's not possibly to change the language the computer talks to you barring a reinstall.
Sucks balls, it really does.

Try googling . . .
windows xp reinstall without cd
( Valin That that is that . . . is that . . ., Fri 21 Nov 2008, 19:53, archived)

Certainly did.
That's how I found out about the I386 folder that's unfortunately missing...
( Colonel Boris Oh globbits, Fri 21 Nov 2008, 19:54, archived)

Cant you just change the language?

( Mu Sticks™, Fri 21 Nov 2008, 19:48, archived)

Have you tried switching it off and on agai...
no, sorry, even I can't bring myself to finish that one.
( The Great Architect, Fri 21 Nov 2008, 19:50, archived)

I nearly switched it off with a hammer...
Then I remembered the 'on' bit would be a mite tricky...
( Colonel Boris Oh globbits, Fri 21 Nov 2008, 19:51, archived)

not sure if this helps?

although it's likely you need the english version to install from looking at a few other forums

That's the conclusion I'd come to...
Bugger.

Cheers anyway, chaps.
