Win Xp Pro

[gary]

:blink: i have downloaded win xp pro it is a ccp file how do i put it on to cd so that when i reboot my computer it will run straight from cd?
:rolleyes:

[TClite]

win xp pro is already bootable, i assume its an image file, so burn it with nero as other>image then simply reboot with the cd in the drive...

[gary]

can i pick your brain some more .
i downloaded win server 2003
it starts to install but when it reboots it says insert cd
i have copyed the file to cd using nero but it does not recognize it
any advice

[TClite]

have you set your machine to boot from your cdrom drive, for by that it should be booting to the cd if your boot sequence includes the cd-rom drive before your hdd, anyway, could be a combination of things here, one of which is the fact that its not bootable, im not too sure...

you can change the boot sequence in the bios

i want to get xp but i have a hp com :( :( :( :(

U need to change your bios settings to allow the comp to check for a bootable cd first.. then your HD.

If thats ok, get the xp bootdisks: http://www.bootdisk.com

Make sure your burning an actual image and not just burning the raw data to the disk.

yea ive done that a couple of times, burning as data i mean, it doesnt work, it just is like burning movies on a data cd.

if you have at least 64 mb ram memory xp professional will run nobother at all but to install service pack 2 which has fire wall protection you will need at least 6gb hard drive as sp2 requires 3gb space for files but xp has service pack 1 without fire wall which is fine please email me if you need help all the best DavidGarden [email protected]

Ah I don't mind the bumping of posts from new members , just a zeal to help mabye ? But yes 64 mb is joke for any O/S really these days .

Mabye I'm just playing Devil's Advocate as some of David's posts are quite good , just needs some guidance ? I don't like to discourage new members contributions , they'll learn in time . :)
