Please help me too,

I am trying to load window xp on Dell insprion 5150, it does not let me finish downloading xp , dumps me every time trying with different xp cds.

It does not have floppy drive and I am thinking of reformatting the hard drive with window 98 which may helep to correct the currupt hard drive. Give me ideas to down load window 98 ??? I copied the 98 set up in cd and flash drive too, it did not work.
