    Hello All
    I have a computer from 2002 that was running windows xp professional. I want to do a fresh install of XP I have 2 different windows xp install discs (2002). In this computer Im also installing a new hard drive. So my question is to install windows xp from the official Microsoft disc do I need a special BOOT XP DISC? When I power up the message can’t find operating system comes up, but Im not sure if I need a boot cd to get this all to work. I already went into the biow and told it to boot off cd but again nothing happens same message can’t find os.

    any advice would be appreciated.
