Cant boot form CD Rom ???

I,m Trying to boot from the CD-Rom, But the computer
seems to not want to. I've tried most all of the
combinations in the boot sequence of the Bios on this
Motherboard: EPoX
EP-8KTA3
VIA Apollo KT133A
VIA Apollo KT133A Chipset + VIA VT82C686B
BIOS Award/Phoenix BIOS v6.0
Any Ideas
Thanks

With the CD-ROM drive first in line in the boot sequence and with the XP CD
in the CD-ROM drive, boot the system, if another operating system is already
installed, you should, at some point during the boot process see a message
to hit any key if you wish to boot from the CD. You must do that or it
won't boot from the CD, assuming an OS is already installed on the system.

First, are you using an XP CD or a backup copy you might have burned
yourself? If a backup copy, try the actual CD.

Second, the issue may be how your CD Rom drive is connected or jumpered.
Are you sure it is properly connected and jumpered. What you are telling us
sounds like a hardware issue, not a software problem.
