HI  Ray
 
Well, I was only thinking  if I had scratched or misplaced this CD for XP... 
I would need this.  But I  tried to make a copy of my XP and it wouldn't let 
me.  I don't know if it's  cause something is wrong with my drive, or MS fixed 
it where you couldn't  copy them.  I know in previous ones, I have been able 
to copy -- that way I  had a spare.
 
But thanks for the  info.  I appreciate it.   Harriet

Read the directions at the link I sent you in the last post. You need to  
copy the folder onto your hard drive not onto a CD.

When you say you  got your original CD out, is it a Windows XP install 
CD? If so, I don't  understand why you needed to create a new one.
