Repairing Windows xp blue screen help

Hello. I am trying to repair my old xp which has bluescreen. I am lucky enough to have my windows xp installation disk. Problem is i cant get the computer to want to boot from the cd drive. I have 3 options: 1st floppy disk, sm-hewlett-pack and pm-samsung sv04.please help

 

Are those the options you are seeing in your bios setup?

 

Yeah they are the only settings i see

 

By using the OS disc and doing a [format] you will not solve the pblm. The pblm is a hardware pblm

 

any advice on how to perform a format?

 

Your bios isn't seeing the cdrom drive. Is it connected? Is it working?

 

i will check...

 

yes cd drive is connected
the sm-hewlett-pack does have the dvd writer 3 ( full name)

 

ok i am able to boot from usb... Any 1 know what i need to put on it?

 

USB what?

 

On the boot menu i am able to select flash drive to boot. What do i need to put on the usb to boot with it?

 

Hey any1 know how to make a usb stick able to boot windows xp? That is my new Delmar

 

Is the drive large enough to hold the XP install disk?

 

usb is large enough. Has all the content of the disk ( 700mb). I get disk error when trying to boot. Usb is formated to fat
