Also. went ahead and attempted to install Win XP using the CD I bought a few years ago ...setup ran then determined the was no Win on my HDD (duh) and asked me to put in CD - which I did. BUT the 'install' came back and said:
Either cannot read CD or CD is not a valid Win XP disk
Tried several times - same result ... since I booted from the CD, don't think the cannot read explanation is the problem.
The CD IS a valid Windows XP Home ... using original CD and have original packaging, instructions, and product key ... what's wrong ??
