- 2). Insert the Windows XP installation CD into your CD drive. Open Windows Explorer and locate the CD. Click "Tools," then select "Folder Options." Click the "View" tab. Make sure that "Show Hidden Files" is checked and that "Hide Protected Files" is not checked.
- 3). Select all of the files on the CD and copy them to the folder that you created earlier.
