XP Pro CD & booting problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hello

When using the Windows XP Pro CD to boot, the process gets as far as the
"Set-up is inspecting your configuration" stage, then the screen goes
blank and nothing happens. This didn’t happen before (I format and
reinstall every 3-4 months). Other bootable CD’s work fine, e.g.
Windows 2000 Pro.

I have a dual boot setup for Windows XP Pro and SuSe 9.2.

Any help is appreciated,
Craig.

Sorry, I should have also stated that this particular Windows XP Pro CD
boots perfectly on any other computer I try. So nothing on the CD is
worn out

Regards,
Craig.
