Question want to install SUSE 10 by using GRUB but need a little help


Hi
I am using win xp right now and I am a complete noob to the Linux OS.I have downloaded the SUSE 10 ISO's from the lqiso.org now the problem is I don't have a CD writer with which I can burn those images to a CD.Now I am using GRUB_FOR_DOS to install SUSE right from the Hard Drive.But the problem is that when I choose the partition in which those ISO images r the SUSE installer asks me to right the path of the directory in which those images r.But those images aren't in any directory.what should I right any suggestions.
my Hard Disk is a Seagate's SATA.
ALL my windows partitions r FAT 32.
please help me on this I desperately want to become a Linux user.

Everything I've read on mounting .iso from hard drive (or installing from hd) says the .iso should be in a directory by itself. So, just create a directory and move the images into that directory.

Hi,
The images r in the E: Drive I have made a Folder in that drive namimg SUSE.The path is E:\SUSE. All the ISO images r in that directory.The drive E in the installer is shown as sda6.When I choose that directory the installer asks me to enter the path of the source directory.Now can u tell m what should be the right path for the source directory.
