How Do You Reinstall Windows XP With A Bad Installation Disk?
Windows XP was released in 2001, so it is understandable if your XP disk is starting to show some wear. Reinstalling Windows XP where the original CD is faulty or inoperative might seem impossible, but you can accomplish the task by reinstalling Windows from the setup program that is already on your hard drive. This setup program was automatically installed along with your original installation of Windows XP. Right-click “Start,” and click “Explore.” Click “Computer,” “C,” “Windows,” and open the “i386” folder. Double click “Winnt32.exe.” This will start the reinstallation. Press “Enter” and “F8” to move to the repair and reinstallation screen. Highlight the drive containing Windows XP and press “R” to perform an in-place reinstallation of the operating system. This is an automated reinstall of the operating system that requires no additional input on your part.
