SO IN TROUBLE

[Virginia]

Hello to all of you guru's of computer knowledge. I am in
deep dodo. Now here is the cituation. I am working on an
old Dell, Pentium II type. Now it has on it NT 4.0 with no
updates. I am trying to put a clean install of XP on it
but I do not know how.

When I place the Cd in tray the wizard starts and gives me
only the option of upgradeing but not of a clean instal.Of
course it cannot upgrade. Now I have been told to boot
from disk. That is all well and dandy but how do I do that?

I am computer illiterate so I ask that you use small words
and speak slow but above all else talk to me as if I have
never seen a computer before!

Please help.

Well well... Miss prick and Sartifartblast! You make
quite a team. Funny thing is netcops like yourselves are
the ones who need to be babysat and policed the most due
to your constant retard-like netiquette. Grow up for
pete's sake...if such a thing is even possible.
