Why not grab that Windows XP CD and a blank media, so you can create a new bootable one, that's up to date and contains all the latest security features? In case you don't already know, this is called slipstreaming and it's very convenient when you are in need of doing a fresh install. Moderator Womble has been good enough to show those of us that don't know how, the process of accomplishing this task, in a step by step guide. Frightened? Don't be! He makes it easy.
What I like about this, aside from the obvious benefits mentioned above is, you can take the original disc (the one you handle like gold, careful to only touch the edges) and put it away in your crack file system, safe from damage. Or, just force it under the bed in a box, next to all those games, video cards and motherboards you won't throw away. It's up to you, we know it will fit!

Well, that doesn't look very hard so far, maybe even I can do it! For those of you interested in trying your hand at this, head on over to the Newbie Forum. That's where you can find this thread called: Windows Tips, Tweaks and Guides. The bootable CD guide is as handy as pockets on a shirt! Thanks Womble , for taking the time once again, to write these guides. It's always fun to try things like this. Now, where in the world is a blank CD at? Hmmm.
