1. Why dont you install WindowsXP using the DVDROM that comes with the laptop?

2. There are four different disks required to floppy-boot WindowsXP... you're better off with the CDROM

3. I think you need to change the boot order to have the DVDROM checked before the HDD in the BIOS boot sequence :)
