When I opened the message, I found that Carl Houseman had written: > Regarding the XP recovery disk you have, you don't have the correct type of XP > CD for those instructions. Disregard them.
> My suggestion was to use the first google match, which was this: > http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000646.htm There's a couple (or a couple hundred) things I don't understand, Carl. I have already download the file for the 6 disks. I also read this there: "The Windows XP startup disk allows computers without a bootable CD-ROM to perform a new installation of the operating system. The Windows XP startup disk will automatically load the correct drivers to gain access to the CD-ROM drive and start a new installation of Setup. You cannot upgrade from a Windows XP startup disk." And I read in the article referenced above: "Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD." Is that the same as saying "Insert Boot Disk" (Disk one of the six)? I want to be ready when the time comes. All my business files are on that drive. I had some bad news from family back east and am flying back Tuesday.
