Now that I've replaced my laptop, I'd like to wipe the hard drive clean and
reinstall XP in view of possibly selling it off. The problem is that the CD
player is inop. Whats the best way to wipe the hard drive and install a fresh
copy of XP? I do have a USB drive large enough for the OEM version of XP.
