Simply a matter of inserting the XP cd into the drive and restarting the computer. If the Bios is set to boot primarily to the CDrom drive, you will get the options you are looking for.
my XP home OS is truly messed up. I want to uninstall it and reinstall it from scratch. Or maybe even uninstall it and install XP pro instead. How do I go about doing this?
(it is the OS that came with my computer. IT is not an upgrade.)
