Here's your fix, only if your running XP and you have an OEM CD.\n\n1. Boot up with the WinXP CD and at the Setup Screen press the Enter Key.\n  \n2. You will be taken to the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to proceed.\n\n3. The next screen gives you the option to do a fresh (clean) install or to repair\n     the selected Windows XP installation. To run a Repair Install press "R".\n\n***CAUTION*** if you do not see the option to repair the selected Windows XP\ninstallation DO NOT choose the option to continue installing a fresh copy without\nrepairing as that will overwrite your data and cause unrecoverable data loss.\n\n4. If you originally installed XP with Service Pack 1 and later installed Service Pack     2,  you will need to re-install Service Pack 2.\n\n5. If you have any Microsoft Office products installed,  you will need to re-activate\n    with the Product Key code. Contacting Microsoft may be required.

It's not hard to upgrade your PC; I'll try to type you through this here.\n\n1) Minimum Requirements for Windows XP:\n\n233MHz Processor\n\n64MB Memory\n\n650MB HDD space\n\nI'd recommend at least 128MB of memory or it will be very slow.\n\nIf you meet these requirements, go to the next step.\n\n2) Find an OEM disc of Windows XP Home (you don't need professional if your not a client of a server).\n\nBuy the OEM (not retail) disc at any online computer store.  Do a Google search for it.  It will be half the cost of a retail version (XP Home is usually $90).\n\n3) Most computers are set to boot from CD first.  You stick in the XP CD and when it says "Press a key to boot from CD" do so.\n\nIt will load some necessary files with a blue-screen background.  Then you will come to a part to setup the installation.\n\nPress enter to install Windows.\n\nPress F8 to accept license agreement.\n\nFind the partition that has your old OS.\n\nPress D to delete it.\n\nThen press enter to confirm.\n\nThen press L to confirm.\n\nYou'll be back at the partition screen.\n\nNow press enter to format that partition you just erased.\n\nPick "format as NTFS" and don't choose quick.\n\nSetup will format this.  This may take an hour.\n\nThen it'll automatically start installing Windows.\n\nAfter another half-an-hour it'll restart your computer.\n\nDon't press a key to boot from CD like before; let it load from the HDD.\n\nThen Windows will give you the graphical install screen.\n\nIt'll do everything itself besides a few questions it'll ask.\n\nAfter about 39 minutes, it'll be done and you'll be ready to use Windows XP.\n\nMake sure you have the drivers for any necessary hardware on CD or disc before you do this.  Otherwise you might be stuck with a modem or NIC (network card) that won't work and you won't be able to connect to the Internet to get the driver.\n\nAfter writing this, I realize it may be a little difficult for someone who has never done it.  I say give it a go yourself.  If it doesn't work, you can always have someone else do it for you.\n\nRemember to back up your data files too (like My Documents) on CD as these will be erased with the install.  Also note that all programs will be erased but these cannot be backed up.  Also, if Microsoft Office came with your computer but you don't have the CD for it, you won't be able to reinstall it as Office does not come with Windows XP.

You can do this by inserting your XP CD on boot up. Enter Setup, and setup will prompt you to format the partition in which you wish to intall windows. Make sure this partition is the one you currently use. Setup will format the partitition and install the necessary windows files from there.

Try to get an external USB drive with a cd rom and do it from there, since XP is still running.  Also a very strong recomendation, get another copy of win xp and make sure that it has the Service Pack 2.  And if none of these work, try to get your HD out of the case and make the instalation on someone else computer, putting your HD as a slave and running the instalation on it.\n\nHope I´ve given you a guide to solving your issue.

If you're in a dual-boot environment, boot to the Windows XP CD, enter the Recovery Console and run:\n\nfixboot c:\n\nfixmbr\n\nType EXIT and then the PC will reboot to Windows XP.

Create a boot disk www.bootdisk.com , now insert the floppy with the boot information on it into your drive, boot the computer and use the following command: FORMAT C:/S \n\nOnce it is complete set your BIOS to boot to CD before the Hard Drive and install XP...easy!

Techniclaly, no, you need at least Windows 98 in order to use your XP upgrade.  But there are workarounds - for example, you'd have to install from Win 95 instead of from booting up.  See the second of the links below for details.

Pre: make sure you're windows XP is bootable\n\nMake your CD-Rom as 1st Boot. to do this, go to "Bios Setup" by pressing "Del" or "F2" for some system just read on the screen during POST.\n\nthen after that, you'll see an installation window. Next, since it's not formatted yet, you'll see there a formatting option so just go on with the window instruction. it's so easy.\n\nThen you'll have you'r cd formatted and XP installed. Just follow what the window instsallation said so.. Thanks.\n\nand oh, please don't forget to rate my answer.. thanks and good luck ^_^
