| 373573 | 2005-07-19 17:29:00 | Booting from CD-ROM simple right? Changed the boot sequence in BIOS to boot from CD-ROM (1st device) but it always go through to windows. WHY?????? Have tried using the floppy and that works so i know the bios can be changed but why not boot from CD-ROM? The drive can be seen and accessed in win XP. Any ideas out there?

| 373574 | 2005-07-19 19:38:00 | Are you at the machine while the boot is being attempted as normally with XP you get a prompt ti hit anykey if you want to boot from the CD. I guess this is a windows get-around in case you leave a non-boot CD in the drive whic in a floppy's case would give an error boot |

| 373575 | 2005-07-19 23:51:00 | Yes am there watching it boot up and i know what you mean because it should come up with "Boot from CD-ROM-Press any key now" but that msg doesn't come up. WHY???????? | cajetan (8513) | ||
| 373576 | 2005-07-20 00:02:00 | Whats the CD?? Is it the XP CD?? If it isnt bootable, then thats why it'll boot straight to Windows . Since it cant find any info on the cd, relating to a bootable cd . |

| 373578 | 2005-07-20 02:15:00 | Did the "bootable XP" come with the other machine? It could well be tied to the actual hardware of the other machine as an OEM version. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 373579 | 2005-07-20 02:27:00 | nope got it seperately but interesting idea though.......... weird huh? | cajetan (8513) | ||
| 373580 | 2005-07-20 06:29:00 | You have got IDE enabled in the BIOS? Then change first boot to CD. Make sure CD is on master - both in the BIOS and on the jumper. Cables connected OK. Then see if XP boots. |
