<div class="IPBDescription">Kind of not...</div> I have a spare linux based system I want to install Windows XP on, I put in the XP disc, and it works fine, however the other PC wont boot from CD rom. It reads the disk and says "Boot from cd-rom.........none" and continues with boot....any idea?

    Has nothing to do with linux at all.

    Does your PC normally boot from CDROM before harddrive? (Check BIOS settings)

    Does your Windows XP cd boot properly? (If its a legal version it should, if its an illegal version, I am not allowed to help you. Although while you are at it, you can try to slipstream in SP1a..)
