Yeah, first thing reinstalling a computer was a clean format, copy the CD to C:\WIN.CD\ and install from there. That way, it never asked for the Windows CD when installing drivers or functionality later -- that functionality always read where Windows was installed and only asked if it couldn't find the source. It was really worth it taking up 1/20 of a hard drive back then.
