It will stop with an error message saying something like "No operating system found", then you can insert the XP disk and reboot. Or, if you are quick, you can open the CD tray and put the CD in as soon as it starts, and not wait for the error message. You may first need to go into the BIOS setup and change the boot order so that the machine boots from the CD - there should be a message during the early part of the initial boot saying something like "Press Del for BIOS setup" and you do what it says.

Are you anywhere near Gloucester - I'll come and do it for you and let you take notes so that you can do it for a neighbour.

Thanks for the offer but I live in Derbyshire.  I have access to IT support via another source and so will tap into that as well as here.  It's probably more straightforward than I imagine.

Thanks for all your replies.

Thank you for all your help and advice.
