Default Presario 5184

Hello All,
I have a Compaq Presario 5184 AMD K62 380 with 128 megs ram
I would like to do a clean/fresh install of Windows XP Professional.
The problem is this system is not bootable via CDrom or floppy but will
only boot with the restore disk. I have checked the BIOS as well.
Anyone know where I can find info to over come this?
How can I do it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
HP's website on this kind of info sucks.

Thanks

Frank
