r u using NON-genuine OS... and installing from a dump..

Make a Win 98 Boot floopy with CD Support.
Download the Windows 98 SE boot disk from Bootdisk.com
Insert both Floppy n WinXP CD inside floppy n cd drive respectively.
Change Boot Preference to Floppy in Bios.
Restart PC.
Boot the PC from floopy.
Then try to install WinXP.

Note: Can do the same if D drive is a hard disk partition and WinXP files are dumped in a folder.

Hope it helps.

Don't Try To Install It From Dos Just Insert Your Cd Select First Booting Device As cd Rom Then The Setup WIll Start Follow The Instructions And You Are Done

Burn XP setup to CD and Install XP from the CD.

oh_yeah - Just make a bootable startup cd and boot from it 1st and then install winxp from ur hard disk - or u can always burn the winxp installation and make a bootable OS disc and install directly from CD - as told by The Unknown.

Hope it helps.
