I keep getting the same thing:
Boot from CD:
and then nothing.
I have this new comp i built from scratch. I have a SATA 400GB HD with an older CD/DVD rom drive. I checked the wires, and its set up first device booted is the CDrom and then second is the Hard Drive. Still doesnt work. I replaced the CD/DVD rom with another. Nothing. Does the master, slave jumpers have anything to do with this? I have no clue.
I have XP corprate edition, and i cant get it to load. I've tried pretty much everything, and nothing seems to be the problem. Can Anyone help me?

Having XP corporate edition is probably illegal for you (so don't let Microsoft know).
Your PATA CD-ROM should be set up as the master and plugged into the correct connector on the cable (since you're using a SATA hard drive there won't be anything else on PATA in which case there'd be no way to run the CD-ROM as a slave).

make helpful the CDchronic is put in wisely, and set up on your bios, in any different case it is going to possibly no longer supply you the alternative besides to it. in case you have a floppychronic, you may make a boot disk from an NT based gadget (domicile windows NT, 2000, XP) with CD help. Boot to the floppy, then run the installation from the CDchronic.

The master should be the hard drive and the slave should be the Cd rom.
or visa versa.
either way should work.

Is it an OEM copy or a burned copy? If it's a burned copy it might not have been duplicated as a bootable cd.
