You must use a full retail or OEM version of XP (not the cd from your old computer) this makes life really easy and can usually be downloaded from the web.
You must also have a genuine XP key, which has not been used on another system (without genuine key you will not get updates and your system will be labeled as using pirated software by Microsoft.

Next you should know or find out the specifications of your system, to do this goto Manufactures website.

The most important step is to find out if your hardisk is using SATA interface (if so you will require the SATA XP drivers and a floppy disk, as this is the only way that XP can install these drivers.)

Install XP via cd rom by booting cdrom at system start (if you cannot do this then you must access your system bios at first boot by pressing F2 or Del keys(or whatever key your system uses) and change the boot option to cdrom as first drive.

If your system uses SATA press F6 when XP prompts �press F6 to install other� at very beginng of XP install and install sata drivers from floppy.

2. Now, go to �C:\Documents and Settings\%your admin name%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\� of your computer. Delete all of the content of that folder.



3. In your Internet Explorer, refresh the page and browse-thru the pages of the books that you want to download.

4. Refresh the �Temporary Internet Files� folder. Copy all PNG files to another folder. You can distinguish PNG Files through its icon.

These files that you have just copied are, actually, the pages of the books that you have just browsed
