I got a new lap top for Christmas Dell Inspiron 8 mini and as you may know it doesn't have a CD drive, but I have an external CD drive to use. When I insert the Windows XP setup disk into the drive it doesn't start the setup it just show me the contents of the CD. I've tried to click on the setup icon with the file extension .exe and it won't start but jeust tell me that there is no application to run the program and i can't boot from the removable devices either. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE.

What OS is installed in it now?
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

you'll probably need to change the boot order in the bios (del, esc or F10 when you boot up) to try to boot from USB 1st.
