Either by using "setup adv" from the command line or by pressing CTRL+C when it is waiting for user input. As long as dos can see a drive, it should be able to install to it. However, you would still need to know if you want it to go on E: F: X: or wherever. My only concern is SYS transfer of system files messing up your boot code.
