Hi ozzy!
Looks like your CD got damaged, is that possible?
Are there any scratches on the backside?

no there are no scratches on the back side of the cd i have tryed a set of floppy boot disks for xp too and they give me the same error code and message so i cant figure it out at all :o

It seems it might could be a wrong cmos setting , weak cmos battery , or maybe bad ram. Give resetting the cmos a try.

ok so just take the battery out for a few and put it back in ? i can do that and if that fails should i change the battry ?

You can change the battery if it is no longer charged. They are cheap and available in lots of places.

Dont forget to remove the powercord from the back of the pc when removing the battery.

And yup , if it doesn't help then try a new battery.
