Native WinXP cannot create a bootable CD, a 3rd party software package such
as Easy-CD or Nero is required.

Mine is not after formatting drive C.
Into FAT32.
When I boot the MS WINXP it does the post ok but then comes up with:
Invalid System Disk.
Replace disk then press enter.
This makes no sense. There is no floppy in the drive a: and the CD is the
original MS WINXP upgrade.
But I get the same error when I try to put the Full version of Windows ME
into the CD drive.

Have you set the BIOS to boot from CD?

Is the CD-ROM drive first in the boot order?

yes it always was.
Computers have a will of their own, it seems.
I have installed windows xp a dozen or more times on my own computers or on
my children's.
Seldom hgad this problem.
BUT - after trying probably 10 times before and doing NOTHING at all
different, no cable, no BIOS, no different CD, nothing, all of a sudden it
does install.
I am still in the process but all seems normal.
