Perhaps, i assume that you are going to format your PC (clearing everything in your Hard Disk Drive) to install or reinstall a Windows XP etc. If it is, then its not the way to do it.\n\nFor Windows XP, switch on your PC as usual, then just pop in the CD into your CD-drive. Then follow on screen instruction. When it ask about installing windows as "Upgrade" or "New Installation", select the "New installation". Follow the instructions and select the appropriate steps. There will be some loading of files and finally, your PC will reboot. Just follow the instructions.\n\nFor Windows 98, you will need the startup disk (diskette) and the CD. Insert the diskette in before switching on your PC. Follow instructions properly.\n\nMain thing here its not difficult, just need to read between the lines and follow instructions.... Good luck!

Make sure your account has "admin privelages". This is needed to install/uninstall any software using XP. Also, make sure your PC meets the minimum spec (it probably does because it's not power-hungry at all).\n\nTo log-in as an admin temporarily, startup in safe mode (change by pressing F4 at the boot), then select administrator at the welcome screen. Browse for the downloaded file and install it.

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.

Windows XP Repair Installation\n\nAt some point you may need to repair the installation of Windows\nXP. This is preferable to a clean install in many cases since it\nattempts to only repair your copy of windows without having to \ndelete all the files on your computer first. In many cases a \nrepair installation is enough to fix the problem. A repair install\ndeletes the files normally installed by windows XP and then \nreinstalls them off the disc. A repair install will not rebuild \nyour computer's registry, delete applications and user settings, \nor fix problems caused being caused by a program.\n\n1. First you have to boot the computer with the Windows XP cd in\n   the cd tray. You will see a black screen and it will ask you \n   to press any key to boot from the cd so press the spacebar \n   and your computer will boot from the CD.\n\n2. After a moment you will be taken to the Windows XP Setup \n   screen. Though the second option says to repair do not press \n   R. Instead press enter to select the setup for Windows XP.\n\n3. Next, you have to accept the license agreement from windows. \n   Once you've done that it will search for your existing \n   installation of windows.\n\n4. Once it has finished detecting the installation you need to \n   select the XP installation you want to repair. You can repair \n   the installation by pressing R. If you don't see the repair \n   option you will need to do a clean installation. Your version \n   of windows may have been damaged in a way that it cannot carry \n   out a repair. \n\n5. Setup will then copy the files it needs to the hard drive and \n   reboot the computer. A message will come up asking you if you \n   want to boot from the cd, don't press any keys and just let \n   the timer run out. The set up will continue and look like is \n   doing a clean install but all of your applications and \n   settings will be intact when it finished.\n\nAn important note is to not activate your windows over the \ninternet right away. Always enable the XP firewall to protect \nyourself.

you need to get the CD first. You can get a Windows XP CD for like $40 these days, especially on http://www.ebay.com\n\nJust install it and it will erase all data and install Windows XP for you. So you should back up everything using a data CD or a file hosting server online.\n\nIf you need help with it, just contact me.

Here is your fix:\n\nYou MUST have an OEM Win XP 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.
