RH 4.x install using HDA as source



Hello,

     My first attempt at installing Redhat, and it's not
going well.  The laptop I am installing on does not have a
cd, but the source I have is on a cd - go figure.  The cd
came with the "No B.S. Guide to Linux".  I copied the files
(over a network connection) to the C: drive (600 MB), and
left the D: drive with 200 MB, with 16MB left for the swap
file.  Since the install does not appear to support network
installs, I am attempting the install from the C: rive
(hda?)  When I execute "install.exe", I am greeted with the
following message:

     Welcome to the Red Hat Linux 3.0.3 Installer!

     Cannot find the Linux pro 4.x.a     CD-ROM in drive C:.
 Make sure that
                                   you have the correct cd
in the drive and that you
                                   specified the right drive
letter.

     My questions:  1)  Can the install be done from the C:
drive?  2)  What am I doing wrong?   3)  What files do I
really need for the install (so that I can make the D: drive
larger, and the C: drive smaller?


     Any help with any of these questions would be greatly
appreciated.  Thank you.
