What happened was recently my computer restarted out of nowhere when I was browsing the internet. When my computer restarted, it would not go past the windows loading screen and just reset (blue screen of death). I tried going into safe mode however, nothing seems to work other than booting Windows into 'debugging mode' and everything works fine.

I'm trying to correct this problem by possibly using the Windows XP CD to repair Windows. Here's when I run into another problem. The Windows XP CD simply will not boot. I've tried changing the boot order in the bios but the 'press <any> key to boot from CD' will always be skipped no matter what. I've even tried different DVD/CD drives and different CDs.

So.. what should I do guys? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi to PCHF is there just one CD/DVD drive in this PC some time if there is two it can confuse the PC

Nope thats not the problem because I only have one drive and I've swapped with another DVD drive(burner) just to see if that might fix it but still the same problem.

So the PC see's it in BIOS? I guess it must if you can set the boot order strange problem

Is there any other way to boot Windows? I've tried the USB way but it takes forever for the 'Reading ramdisk' to read.

What type of keyboard are you using? if its a USB or a wireless one it may not be active in DOS. You may be able to activate this in the bios it will say something like dos usb support. But a ps2 keyboard is all ways best

dezo... i know that you went into the bios and changed the boot order... but did you make sure that the cd-dvd drive, is enabled ? and what are you computer spec's ?
