Either your computer is a home-built system, or it has been built by a
company like Dell, HP, Compaq, Acer, Toshiba, Sony and so on. If it is a
commercially produced system, the manufacturer will provide the operating
support. If it is a privately built computer, with a retail copy of XP
installed, Microsoft will provide support for the operating system only. If
the copy of XP is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) copy, the support
will come from that specific company.

The XP install disk is bootable. To perform a clean installation of XP,
boot from the disk, your BIOS will need to be set to first boot from the CD
drive, and follow the instructions. Do a Google search for "clean
installation of XP" and you will find detailed information.
