How to I install windows Xp on my x60?

[trifler]

Hi!

I'm in deep shi.. water and in need of some help. I got my thinkpad x60 1706-cto a couple of weeks ago - with Windows Vista. I diden't want that so I decided to try out the ny version of ubnuntu. After lots of fiddeling i still diden't get it to work proper. (the sound is one point)
No I would like to install windows xp on it. But how do I do it. I've tried loads of things found on the internet, including sysangel pxe-boot, bartpe and so on but still can't install windows.

So my question is what and how do I move on so that i finaly can get winxp installed on my computor.

The only extras I have is 2 usb memory sticks of diffrent sizes.

But any possible installing methods are welcome. (i'll try to dig out what i need)

The only way I know for a fact would work is with the X6x dock, and a CD or DVD drive. Then you would just boot your windows CD normally. Other than that, there are lots of tutorials.

If you can stick the drive in another computer you can partition and format it to have 1 large partition and a second smaller partition. You can then dump the entire Windows XP CD onto the second partition.

You then put it back in the computer. Boot using the windows 98 floppy or an XP boot disc, etc. This might be accomplished with a USB stick, but I do not know how to do it. In fact if you can read the USB stick from DOS, you might just stick the contents of the CD there.

Anyway you use DOS commands to point to the setup file on the second partition and XP will install as if you were booted into the CD.

I did this with my wife's Toshiba after a year of trying to figure it out. Her CD drive took a dump and the restore discs would not run on an external CD drive.
