Please Do not have a floppy reader and only can install from RW/DVD the two are OEM windows as well as all other software but the XP “German is from another computer and also is XP Professional..
Thank you.

What are the verbatim error messages you receive and when exactly do you receive them?

Every new install of XP will rewrite the Boot.ini but this should not prevent installation. What you are trying to do should work however I see suggestions of additional software to blind these partitions from each other as apparently there is potential conflict.

I'd suggest reading these threads and ask more questions as they occur:

For conflicting language versions of operating systems, and the
hiding of one's partition from another, I've found System Commander
from V-Communications very useful, in the past.

Also The German version from another computer will require that you lose it on the other computer. In other words when you activate the Product Key on this laptop it will be de-activated on the machine from which it came. One Product Key equals one computer.
