Hi,

I am trying to install Windows XP onto my Windows 2000 machine. I am unable
to boot from my CDROM so i have created the boot disks from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...7-4FED408EA73F.
However, hen i try to boot with these i get a DISK I/O Error... Any ideas?

Which stage did you get Disk I/O Error?
Duling boot Floppy disk, or after bootup with Floppy?
or duling windows installation proccesse?

Did you set 1st boot device Floppy in BIOS?
is your floppy internal or external (usb, or eles)?
your cd drive (which you said cannot bootable) are usb or firewire?

check your PC with windows HCL before yu install it

also you need get ready for all your device drivers, some of them are not
including windows OS.
