Hi,

Into the other threads you have created, you have told that you don't have windows xp installation cd thus do you have it or not? You have marked them as solved. Why?

We have tried to help you and you didn't give feed back about proposed solutions. This is not nice behaviors.

Hello,

Try this 1

1) First you need to set the first boot device as "CD\DVD drive".

Go to your CMOS settings and set the first boot device to CD\DVD drive.

Place the Windows XP CD in your drive.

Save the CMOS settings and exit from it.

2) After restarting, a prompt will appear as "Press any key to boot from CD".

Just press any key to boot from your Windows XP CD.

2) When "Welcome to Setup" appears, press "Enter" which says "To set up

Windows XP, press Enter".

3) When the "Windows XP Licensing Agreement" appears, press "F8".

4) When it prompts you whether you want to "Repair the OS" or to continue

installing a fresh copy of Windows XP", as shown in the below image "Repair"

Repair

Press "R" key to select the repair option.

After restart, set the first boot device back to "Hard drive" in CMOS settings.

Then follow the onscreen instructions when the installation interface appears.

Good Luck
