  1. I doubt its a virus.

    So when you boot your pc and hit F12 it doesn’t show your CD drive at all? When using the USB CD drive and trying to install XP, what source are you selecting to boot from?

    Have you checked to make sure all cables are plugged in properly and the ports are not faulty?
