HELP: WinXP CD won't boot up? boot order changed.

[Guest]

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 Windows XP CDs.

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

Disable the other boot devices in the BIOS instead of changing the order. Unplug any other optical drives to avoid getting the wrong as 1st boot device.

There is a possibility that CD is damaged, or disk image is incorrect. H append to me tons of times. I just downloaded another image and burn again. Try to get a clean CD image.
