Hi,
I am having trouble trying to format my hard drives.
Reason for clearing it that I have too many error
messages and my C drive partition has become too small so
I keep on having low disk warnings.

The problem is that when I include the XP CD in my CD ROM
and change my settings in Bios, it does not want to boot
from the CD.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!

NOTE:

If you are planning to use the Windows XP setup disks,
make sure you downloaded the correct set of setup disks.

If your have a Windows XP CD with SP1, you need to download
the setup disks for use with the Windows XP SP1 installation CD.

If your Windows XP installation CD does not include SP1,
use the setup disks for the "original release" of Windows XP.
