The XP disk is not bootable. This XP Professional disk is a burned copy BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE.

Do you mean 'the XP disk as in all XP disks' or 'the XP disk as in MY XP disk'? If the former, you're full of shit. If the latter, purchase or get a better burn - there are some great deals out there on XP Pro, and 'it doesn't work' is part of the price when GETTING IT FOR NOTHING.

Also, re: the former - I have two legitimate copies of XP Pro upgrade sitting right here next to me for Veronica and myself - and I went through the exact process I just described and it worked flawlessly with my Pioneer DVD player - and I've used both of V's CD-Roms for various Windows upgrades using this method. Re: the latter - burns of XP Pro Corp edition (in this case also legitimate, oddly enough - my family knows someone with bling bling and five extra licenses on their SVLA) are bootable, THANKS FOR PLAYING TRY AGAIN.

Also, if you're not installing a clean copy of your OS, there really isn't much point in installing to begin with. I don't know about you but I don't care for starting off my amazing software journey by throwing myself off a cliff.
