Hey, Patio, i already have a new DVD Writer and i tried to follow the instructions on the link that you have posted on our thread. But there seems to be something wrong coz I only came up to STEP #2
Steps to Clean Install XP
If the above instructions for configuring your system to boot from CD or you have acquired the necessary boot floppy/floppies; you can now boot the computer and follow the on screen prompts.
Have your Product Key available, typical install is around 30 minutes. If setup seems to hang, wait at least 10 minutes + before restarting system. You should experience momentary screen blackouts.
1. Power on the computer. Press the Pause/Break key as soon as you see text on the screen.
[If you currently are running in an OS of any flavor, insert XP CD and restart computer. Skip to #3 if system is configured to boot from CD.]
2. Insert XP CD into CD drive. Press ENTER to resume booting from the XP CD.
(the BIOS is already set to CDROM as the 1st boot priority)
Instead of seeing BOOT FROM CD, i saw; :DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK & PRESS ENTER"
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?? I tried to do the instruction over again but it didn't work
