Boris Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Does your PC boot from any other CDs - e.g. a Live CD from one of the Linux providers (e.g. Puppy Linux) ?See how to get one -------> http://puppylinux.com/cd-puppy.htmAny genuine Microsoft XP CD will already be bootable - if its not, contact Microsoft for a replacement :).
