Hi Terry,
Somehow or another, you will have to get access to your
laptop's BIOS, and ensure that the CD is first in the boot
sequence. That way, with the XP CD in the drive, it will
look at the CD first when you boot up. You will then have
an option to re-format the drive before proceeding with the
Windows install.
It's not usually a tricky job for someone sighted, but
hopeless without speech.
George.

Hi
Yes, but it won't install after the pc crashed. Keeps
coming up with error messages, saying that different files
are corrupt. I have used the cd to install windows
previously, but it won't have it this time.
I wanted to be able to boot the laptop up using something
else, so I could format the hard drive, and try again.
I haven't got a floppy, so that is why I wanted to see if |I
could do it with a bootable cd.
I'm probably going have to buy a floppy, and wipe it that
way.
Terry

Hi all
I've look on line, but am having problems
with finding a sensible site that will allow me to download
files to be able to make up a bootable cd for a windows xp
laptop.
The laptop has crashed, and doesn't come
with a recovery option, as it wasn't bought like that.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Terry
