Reformat and windows reinstall, CD doesnt boot, performance

[aZe^]

So, my Windows XP CD wont boot,
so i'll install Windows ME first then i'll upgrade it to XP. Will the performance suffer much? :?:

Help me! :blah:

Windows ME is the WORST Windows OS I have ever used in my life. It is terrible. It's always better to install a fresh copy of a M$ OS, and not to upgrade. If your CD doesn't 'boot', you make it sound like you do not have a legit copy. Either you don't know how to burn one properly, or you got a bad copy. It's up to you to find out which of those it is. It could also be your hardware, but that's pretty unlikely....:afro:
