Hello

You might want to try making an XP live CD. Once you have burned the CD,
you must insert it into you CD-ROM drive and boot your computer off the
CD. A minimal version of XP will run directly off off the CD.

To make the CD you will need to download a program called Bart's
Preinstalled Environment. You can learn more at:
