Hello

Save your data and do a clean install of XP.

If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a XP disc.

They should do this for a small fee.

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

Install Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

It may be Ctrl + F11, F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

See you soon.
