    Hi


    You may need if not done already to enter your BIOS and set the 1st Boot Device to CDROM and then reboot as it will allow you to boot to the XP cd in which the instructions here in picture format will allow you to follow the steps http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp ( print them out if needed )


    Do also tell us what steps you have already taken as it will take the guess work out of what route we need to advise you on.
