I had a Hard Drive crash. I have bought a new Drive and
XP Professional. How can I load XP on the new hard drive?

Remove the old hard drive and the new drive according to the manufacturers
instructions. The XP CD is bootable, place it in the CD Drive and follow the
instructions. Here are some links that will give you some helpful
information.

Switch the computer on, go into the BIOS, change the booting order so that
the first boot device is the CDrom, save this setting. Place the XP disc in
the CDrom and then restart the computer. Now all you have to do is follow
the instructions as they appear.
