    Make sure you change the boot order in your BIOS, so it tries to boot from the CD, and not the hard disk drive. To do this, power off your system. When you power it on, press the Del key as soon as you see the Acer logo appear. It should be as soon as you turn it on. Go to the Boot menu, then change the boot device section to list the CD/DVD rom first. Save and Exit the changes, and it should boot from the XP disk. If it does not, you may try ordering recovery media at our Acer Store.
