Well, you can't. Windows is forever writing temporary files which it can't do to a CD-ROM. And even if you could (CDROM-RW?), the access time would kill you; CD-ROMs have an access time about 500 times slower than a hard disk.

Please refrain from asking this question repeatedly. All you need to do is stick with your origianl thread. In case you missed my reply, here it is again: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/msg/0579e203479531b9?hl=en 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.

Please do not send the same message separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get. If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).
