ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Check your BIOS setup for the boot sequence; if HD is first, then it will never boot from the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Firstly I cannpt understand why you had to purchase XP again, unless of course your computer was supplied without an installation CD. Personally I would NEVER consider buying without one.To solve your problems, there are excellent guides on installing XP, on this forum. best to print out what you want.Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visionary Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I had to re-purchase XP again because my Alienware CD's do not work when the motherboard is replaced, since original purchase of my computer it has been pretty ripped up and mashed together xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
