I have Windows XP installed, but not so sure it was a good installation my PC rebooted a couple of times half way thru the installation. Somehow, the machine is able to boot to C drive. However, I would like to do a fresh installation and I can't seem to boot from the installation disc off the CD rom.
I have configured the bios to boot with priority to CD rom and in fact was prompted to hit any key to start from CDrom. However, it still boots from the C drive.

Hi,
Go to BIOS Setup and go to boot priority and set priority 1 to CD and then insert the CDC into CDROM and press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart the PC to boot from CD.

you have to be quick when it says "press any key to boot from cd"
you only have a couple of seconds.

when it says hit any key just wait it will go onto the cd on its own.
when you format it will say the same thing dont touch the keys let it go and it will do it for you

Put the cd in the tray, and re-start.
