Help! to re-load win xp pro (fresh install)
 
Hi there was wondering if anyone could help me, 1st of all i have a windows xp pro and windows xp home multi disk its called Microsoft Experience cd, Devilsown Corporate ,msdn orporate pro home Editions, it has loads of windows xp pr home editions on it all with serial keys. Cost me a fortune from work! lol
2nd, I have a broken floppy drive,

Iam currently running winxp pro but want to wipe it and re-load win xp pro(fresh install)using my new corporate disk.
How can i boot up to windows setup or enter setup without a boot floppy i know i can buy another floppy drive but cant be bothered at this moment.
When i restart the pc with the new corporate windows disk in, it dosnt read the disk at all...even when i try and see whats on the disk ,strange thing is seems like there is nothing on it!

So how can i wipe this current xp pro and start again with my new disk without using a bootable floppY!
THANKS guys an girls......sorry for being a dim ass but it seems strange an driving me up the wall!!!! :smash:

enter your bios:
usually by pressing esc, F8 or del during the start up routine, check the boot order and place the cd drive before your harddrive, and problem solved :)
