ahh tru, I but I have a legal cd and I have a problem no on e can seem to solve.
I booted with My XP cd, and installed the OS. after this and install of many programs, I found none of my windows cd's will boot. (ie: windows98, windows me, Conputer restore cd and my Windows XP cd)
Why does my computer not want to boot from cd anymore? And yes I looked in my bios and the cdrom is set 1st.
sorry to barge into your topic.
