Hi,
I have been given a pc that has Linux Ubunto o/s on.
After a failed attempt to install Windows XP, I am attempting to load XP from a cd. I changed the bios to set the cdrom drive to the primary boot drive. When I powered the pc on with the cd in situ, although I got the message 'Boot from ATPI cdrom:' I was unable to respond to this message via the keyboard. I know the keyboard is ok because I used it to change bios. I also know the cd is ok because I have loaded XP onto another pc from it successfully.
I am stuck as to what is wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
