You do not need to format the HD in the bios. You have only to change the boot sequence, so that the laptop looks in the cd first for a boot disk. There is no way you can do an installation if you can not boot from your cd.

Upon startup, it'll say what key to hit for setup options. Hit the key and change the boot sequence from HDD to CDR, you should then be able to boot from the CDR containing the OS software. I do not suggest you install 98 se.

Unfourtanetly, you could not improve from homestead windows 2000 to homestead windows XP. you could ought to reformat. i advise you stick with Open source purposes which contain OpenOffice. Its distinctly a lot 100% nicely proper with Microsoft place of work, and plus it has each and each and every of the needs you want- which contain Powerpoint, word, and so on.
