Default Re: xp boot help

Hello and welcome to PCHelpForum.

In BIOS load fail safe and defaults then set CD rom to first boot device.Iy your CD rom set as master via little jumper on it?

We have a great Tech Team who will help you with this issue.

I will mark your thread as "Open" in readyness for the team.
