Ok heres what im doing.i want to reninstall my xp proffesional on my new sata 400 gig segate harddrive.Why? I got a virus i cant get off of old drive that already has windows. the problem is that when i pop in the xp pro disc it says You already have a new version of windows or something like that so i cant install it. what i wiill do if i can get windows on the new drive is ill take the old drive out. I can format the old drive to get windows off but it says ill lose everything on that disk. i dont really care except that how will i use the computer to reinstall windows then? will this work?I already tried turing on computer with xp disk but it doesnt read the cd. I already checked the bios to see if the thing is set to read cds at startup.what can i do?

Remove the old HDD and put in your new one set it to primary master put in the XP disc and it should prompt you too install if not then that xp disc if for use to upgrade not install some xp disc wont boot(dumb if you ask me)....
