Is there a step by step written process that takes me thru the procedure of
loading a new install of XP (from an upgrade release)?.

ie What do I have to do to make my XP CD bootable?
ETC.
ETC.

Thanks,
Jim

XP cd is bootable by default, depending on your sys you may have to set a cd
boot up option in your bios

You will need to go into your BIOS and set the boot device to be the
CD-ROM drive.

You indicated that you have the XP upgrade version.

At some point in your install, you will be prompted to insert the CD of
a previous version of Windows (for proof of ownership of a Windows
version to upgrade from).

After you do that, Windows XP should load properly, prompting you for
input along the way.

That is the best site I've seen for what you want to do.
