To install Windows XP, i need "SMARTDRIVE"? I believe i'm supposed to type "SMARTDRV" as a command. I've tried this on drive "A:, C:, D: & E:" with NO success, i keep getting the following error message:
Bad Command Or File Name
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do please?
Thank you for your time.

That isn't an old Windows 3 PC is it? If so it is most likely not powerful enough to run XP.

Smartdrive is used today to speed up the install process of Windows on certain PC's.
Take a look on google for a bootdisk that comes with smartdrive available.
However, most home PC's should not require smartdrive. Who told you that you needed it?
The only reason that I would see you needing it is if you are installing XP from the dos prompt, which is a long way around as XP has a self boot to install.
