Hi,

I have Desktop with NO CD Drive, NO Floppy and I have external DVD writer. I wanted to load Windows XP on that desktop. so, I have decided to use plpgenbtldr. I am having trouble with plpgenbtldr. Let me know tell what I did.

1. I downloaded plpgenbtldr-0.8 from http://download.plop.at/files/bootmngr/plpcfgbt-0.10.zip and copied plpgenbtldr.exe and plpbt.bin to C:\plop folder.

2. Open command prompt (run as admin) and executed
C:\plop:> plpgenbtldr

3. I get an error
the boot manager file plpbt.bin is fragmented!

Options I have tried
A.Contig to defrag the file plpbt.bin
  It says no files defrag
B.WContig (GUI) to defrag the file plpbt.bin
  It says no files defrag
C.DiskView to open file plpbt.bin and execute plpgenbtldr lcn=
same error again here the boot manager file plpbt.bin is fragmented!

Can anyone tell me how to use plop on my machine? I really need it.

Thanks

Elmar
