Installing a clean Windows XP?

June 24, 2009

I want to install a new clean OS of Windows XP on my computer.

How I usually do it is to boot from the OS CD then format the Hard drive then install a new Windows.

To do this i usually would change the priority boot sequence and put the CD-ROm Drive first… but this time it doesn't work?

I have the motherboard
INTEL D865GLC

It happens like this on all of my computers running this motherboard.

The computer will boot off the CD ONLY if there is no operating system currently on the Hard Drive.

But there is and and want to REdo it.

Is there a way to fix this, or is there another way to format the hard drive and then install a new OS?

June 22, 2009

On the internet, I have found a large number of photo restoration / repair software programs, but I dont know which is best / easiest to use with Microsoft Windows XP. Of the following, which would be best, especially for a Forrest Gump type of person.

1) Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 / 7.0
2) Roxio Creator 2009
3) ACDSee Photo Power Pack 2009
4) ACDSee Photo Manager
5) Sony Photo Go Editing Software

Which is the best value: price versus ease of use / understanding?
