There should be a couple .exe or .com files...one's a command-prompt 
version of the installer, one runs under Windows.

If that's a full i386 folder, that is.

Be aware you probably still need the key unless it's hidden in an 
installation routine, as some OEM installs were. Or it may be on the 
case somewhere. For reasons known only to Redmond Windows will happily 
wipe out your drive and your data before actually asking for the key, at 
which point you're screwed without a backup.
