I did go into Bios and put cd first. I also tried disabling floppy and hd.
The computer boots into XP just fine. Everything works but its missing files/has pop ups/etc so I want to just nuke the drive.
The CD rom works. The disk runs when already loaded in windows.
When I go to boot off it though, it doesn't take. f1 to retry, f2 for setup.
Ive never seen anything like this before =/
