I have downloaded the XP64 OS ,I have made a copy on a blank disk ,now it won't boot for me to install. I have tried at least ten time but I am getting nowhere. If any one out could help me out as to what I'm doing wrong it would be graeatly appreciated.

Try installing it from windows.

If oit bootablw you bios setting must be set to boot the cdrom drive before the hard drive and you must stikes a key when it asks if you'd like to boot from the cdrom drive.

If it's not a bootable CD. You have to make it a boot cd, just like you would with a XP slipstream CD http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp1_cd.htm
