That makes sense, but what all I have is the XP PRO upgrade version CD which won't do anything when I boot from it, nor will the Win2000 CD.

I tried booting from a CD with WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE [url] http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...7-4FED408EA73F

burnt on it and it won't do anything either, probably because I am suppose to run it in a healthy Windows machine and make floppies or something for it to work on my sick machine.

REDUNDANT! I don't have Windows.


In the mean time I'll look some more at bootdisk.com and try some of your other advice.

Thank you. I do appreciate your help greatly.



If I could just get to another Windows machine and make the disk with it. Clearly its not something you can just burn to a CD and then expect it to do what its suppose to.
