    I want to reinstall XP service pack 3 on my MSI U115 with the recovery DVD.

    I have another computer with Vista and there the installation started automatically.

    On the MSI I only removed "windows live essantials" in case this has something to do with the problem.

    How can I start the installation of XP ? What file to run ?





    P.S. This recovery DVD is one I had to order from the manufacturer since the DVD in the box didn't work
