Excellent...what was the culprit may we ask ? ?
Well, the solution to the Windows XP, Disk Boot Failure issue, was that I was originally trying to use a OEM Dell Windows XP Install Disk. I just built a new computer, and did not order new OS, because I figured this Dell Windows XP was going to work.
So, in short, it does not. It will only work on the original computer, whether that specific computer is still running or not. It may work on other Dell Computers, but I have heard that is not 100% either. So, I ended up using an older copy of Windows instead.
BUT, now I can not figure out how to get on the internet with my new coputer, so I posted a new thread, and am trying to figure out how to get the internet to connect for the first time.
Hopefully somebody else will one day find this post useful....
