how do i install xp that i downloaded from majorgeeks.com?

i downloaded windows xp from majorgeeks.com (i think - at least that's what i tried to do).
on my desktop, the icon is entitled "xp_unofficial_thehotfix_dot_net_pack"
currently i am running a timebomb version of windows 2000.
when i double-click the xp icon, it doesn't load, it asks me what software i would like to use to open it such as wordpad, mediaplayer, paint, etc.
i want to use xp instead of 2000.
can anyone help me?

 

Dude, you downloaded fixes for XP, not the OS... you don't download Windows, you got to buy a disk. You can download any Linux flavor you want for free.

 

FOOGOO's right. That's not the OS, but a patch program used to fix many problems that come with XP. To get XP, you have to buy a disk at a store, and install it from that disk. As far as I know, there is nowhere to download whole Windows OS's on the net, and I doubt that anyone could ever find a way to do it, anyway. I'd imagine Microsoft would be all over anyone who attempted to do that, so I don't think it'd happen anytime soon.
I've never used Linux, but again, FOOGOO's right in that you CAN download that OS from many places. You'd just have to look, if you decide you'd like to use that instead of Windows. Just remember, though, it's more command line-based than Windows, so it's definitely not for beginners, or so I've been told.
