Windows XP won't reinstall :(

[Rwalls]

Hey everyone, I'm really stuck here..

Last night I decided to totally reformat my computer. So, I backed up everything and got ready. I used a windows 98 boot disk to get me to DOS prompt and then deleted the partition. Next I created a new one and formatted it. After the format, I restarted and I am brought back to the prompt again. I think from the past time's I reinstalled..this is where I type 'setup' to get the cd to boot and run windows XP setup. However, I can only type A: or C: . If I try to type my CD driver(E, I get the message invalid Drive specification.

What can I do? Right now, I really have no ideas..

Guys, Im sorted. There must have been some dust on the CD reader laser...I used my spray duster..and now the CD is booting. Argh!

Thanks for anyone who was gonna help or so!

Cheers!
