It is fairly easy to make a bootable CD that boots to DOS. EZ-Cdcreator has
such a feature as, I believe, does Nero. How you proceed to install from the
XP CD once you get booted, I am not sure. The setup program on the XP CD you
have may not support such an install. Why is your XP CD not bootable? If you
have a legal key and just need a bootable CD, why not borrow one or get one
from Microsoft?
