problem installing xp with boot disks

[Guest]

Hi

I am having trouble installing a fresh copy of xp with the
boot disk program. every time on either the 2nd or third
disk an error comes up. I have tried different disks etc
but still hte same. It has an error code of 7 or 512.

I have looked in the knowledge base and it says about
error code 7 but the resolution does not work.

The only way i can now install xp is by installing windows
then running an upgrade which surely cant be good.

Any ideas?

The pc is 5oomhz with 512mb RAM so should be iup to the
job but obviously not the most new of models!!

And why can't you set the BIOS to boot from the XP CD? *ALL* XP CDs are
bootable. If you don't know how to change your BIOS then I suggest you RTFM.
