no emails !
the boards put up to help u and thats exactly what ur gonna get .. but RIGHT HERE !!!
anyways theres only one possibility u dun have a bootalble xp cd and its quite obvious !
but i will not state that as there is another possibility but it seems quite unlikely to me
so with a disclaimer that the following method is only if uve made a working copy of ur original windows xp cd and failed to replicate the bootable part of it !!!
visit botodisk.com and download the required boot file !
then create a bootable cd with it !!
alternatively u can visit the foll link
