my computer specs are this:

E6600
Asus P5W DH
2GB DDR800
8800GTX

my bios boot priority settings are CDROM HDD Floppy, in that order

I want to instal XP, i did the pre instal. deleted the partition and made
another while formatting it and my computer boots.... but instead of asking
to boot from cdrom, it boots automaticly so i cant go on with the
installation....

help ?

During the reboot remove the CD from the drive so that the PC will boot from
the HDD. When setup continues it will prompt for the XP setup CD. When it
does, put the CD back in the drive and let setup continue.
