1. Insert Disk into PC
2. Restart PC
3. On Boot screen press F8 (or what ever is your Bott setup) key
4. Choose Boot from CD
5. Press any key quickly
6. Keep going until you come upon a screen that says "press F8 to agree" on the bottom
7. Press F8 to agree
8. Kepp going until it gives you three options.
9. Choose Format NSTF File (do not pick 'Format NSTF Files Quick)
10. Wait about 1 to 2 hours to funn install Windows XP.
11. Come back to CEF and thank me.

I disagree, a quick format will work just as well and take a few minutes as opposed to a few hours. The only thing a long format will do is waste time and cause unnecessary stress on the hard drive.

you also might need to change your primary boot device to your CD/DVD drive if it won't boot off of it.
