u'r xp-home installation disk is bootable
u don't need any extra 'start-up disk'
handle it carefully, & not scratch it ... that's it !
u can go 2 bios & set 1st boot device as cd-rom
u can then try booting up from cd & try

yes the service packs make a difference..
service packs are installed for boosting security by covering up patches that were left during the making of the os......
and also the version of the software. i.e., if it is a home type or a pro type, also plays a significant role... so first determine which type of os are u sing and then the service pack installed..
for this do the following steps....
Right click on MyComputer and see there, the name of the os using, the make , the user type and the service pack installed in it............ then
u go for microsoft and download the boot disk file...
ok....
good luck.....

By the way, if you want to find out which service pack you got, right click My Computer, and select properties. If you don't see a service pack in that system info, then you don't have it.

Boot from your CD drive unless your PC/bios is old in which case dont bother with XP cos it will run like a snail.

THE CD IS YOUR BOOT DISK

2-IN THE SECTION BOOT ORDER OR SEQUENCE
3-SELECT YOUR CD AS THE FIRST BOOT
