The Mini HD failed and (BIOS test confirmed it), and so I bought another HD and put it in. I don't have disks for this particular mini and can not find something downloadable that would allow me to just plug in and start installation. XP is licensed for this computer but am not sure what to put on the Thumb Drive to get the installation working - what should I do? Note that when I put in the Thumb drive, it does show up in the Bios; I change it to first bootable, but then just the Boot and Select error.
I see a similar post here:

but don't see any solutions to that either.
Thanks for taking the time to help,
