OT, sorry but I only stick to this forum

I am doing a full reinstall (NOT upgrade) from ME to XP Pro. I need boot discs. Several and different boot drivers would be nice, just in case. I don't know, but if there's a difference between Home and Pro boots, please note that I have the Pro version.
BTW, what's special about the 64-bit version of XP?

Sorry but you need to post in the proper forums, and subscribe to the thread for all replies. Your title only makes you look lazy.

What's special about the 64-bit version of XP is that it runs on 64-bit processors (like AMD's Hammer line and the Intel Itanium). For a regular PC user, the 64-bit version of XP is worthless to us right now...

As for booting, you don't need a boot disc for XP. The CD itself is bootable, so you don't need to worry about any boot discs. Just set the CD-Rom drive as the first boot drive in your BIOS, put in XP and voila, you'll boot into the Windows installation.

*Ahem*, uh-oh, I forgot the key to get into BIOS...

Hit the Delete Button upon boot up.
