Try going into BIOS. Change the order in which the
computer looks at disks. Change it so it looks at the cd-
rom first! Put in your XP disk and do setup. it might
want to reformat- fine do it. it will then load. At some
point it will ask you for a previous version of Windows
to prove that you have/had one. Put in that disk whether
it's 98, 98SE, ME, etc. Hit enter. When prompted change
the CD back to the XP one. It might ask again later
dunno. Once XP is reloaded you can go back into BIOS
(CMOS) and change the order of "look" back to how you had
it before. Bob
