# cp /utilities/XpReburn_version.zip /files
Eject the Tools and Drivers DVD and insert your retail Windows XP CD.

# unzip -q XpReburn_version.zip
Run the XpReburn script. For example:
# ./files/XpReburn

After the CD is created, insert the CD into the workstation and boot from it.
After the OS installation is complete, install the graphics and audio drivers as described inTo Install the NVIDIA Graphics and RealTek Audio Drivers.
