Is there a way to install Win XP on a blank hard disk if your system
won't boot from CD?

You can download Bill Gates' XP setup disks when you can't get your machine
to start from a CD. It will load CD drivers and then you can run the rest of
the installation from the XP CD. I tried it myself and it works. Makes 6
floppies
