Ok so here is what i did.

I tried to install Windows XP Home on my dell computer. It worked. But then I tried to whipe the operating system and put on Windows XP Pro. So I started the Windows XP Pro install and when it restarted i desided that I was going to delete my XP Home OS. I found out how, like going through My Computer/ Properties and editing some file to delete my old OS. So when I restarted my computer, all i had was the Install for Windows XP Pro. But here is the issue.. It keeps comming up saying that the disk is damaged (The Install Disk) So.. Now i dont have a OS to try to "Fix" the disk or to even restart the install again. I have tried to put in the disk for my Windows XP Home but that wont work, because it comes up saying that I need to insert Windows XO Professional Service Pack 3 or something like that. So is there any way i can reinstall some type of OS on this computer?

Thanks Alex

Go to killdisk.com (on another computer) and download their free program. Use it to clean off your hard drive. You should then be able to install Windows.

Good Luck
