Your subject line contains a different idea than the body of your post. Are you trying to reinstall your operating system? If so, look at these links: To perform a repair install (which should keep all your data and settings intact): http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm To perform a clean install (which wipes the slate clean, so to speak): http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html Note that you would not be "run[ning} windows xp from a CD-ROM." Rather you will be running the *setup program* that is on the installtion CD. That means you will be configuring your PC to boot off your CD-ROM drive instead of the usual hard drive.
