The 6 XP floppy discs won't make the CD drive work?? What exactly are you seeing..
As long as you've got the XP CD, then you only need to place the XP disc in the CD-ROM drive, then restart the computer.. As long as the CD drive is set to boot FIRST in the BIOS, then XP will load.
Hope this helps.

i downloaded the above 4.1 mb file from the download.com site. it says it is for disks. i saved it to my harddrive and tried to load onto disks...nada...wants something bigger than a 1.44m disk. i tried going directly to disk drive A: for the download...same result. My other computer which is having the problem says "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows/system32/config/system. You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup from the original Setup CD ROM
select r from the first menu to start repair" .
The problem is i cannot get the !#$%@#$$%^ cd player to work without the 6 setup disks and i cannot get the setup boot file onto disks. Help please.
