Well uhm, last time that i formatted my pc, i couldn't get xp on the system, i first had to install another OS like win98, but isn't there a way to install windows xp (i've got the prof. edition) directly after a system format?

Yes you can, but you need the right disk. It sounds to me like you've got an upgrade disk rather than an install disk. The upgrade disks are a good deal cheaper than the install disks.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Is it same as home edition? If formatted (trying hard to remember) I think mine asked me for my ME CDROM before XP installed.
I think-cant remember.Yup, pretty sure it did.
Such is life.
if its the whole version and not the upgrade. go into bios and make your compyter boot the cd-rom drive first. that will pick up the cd before doing anything else.if that dont work, try pushing f8 right at the post screen, and pick your options.
