Set your pc to boot from cd
put the windows xp cd in the cd tray
it will ask you to press any key during boot press any key
first screen hit enter second f8 then make a choice

Remember that on a re-install, you will loose all data on the drive you are installing onto, so back up anything you wish to keep.

You may need to go into bios and change the boot drive sequence, to make the CD/DVD Drive the 1st boot device.

Try going on a freinds computer and put ur cd into his drive then copy all the files to a flash drive and put it in your computer and follow the steps.
