Asking to Boot From CD?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an Xp Home desktop. Up unitl last week it was working fine. The last
time I started it up, a screen came up and asked to boot from cd. If I have
the Xp cd in the cd:drive and press enter nothing happens. Nothing happens
regardless of what I do. The last time the pc worked all
Windows/AV/Spyware/Firewall updates were current and No malware detected on
scans.

Any suggestions are appreciated..

Seen this before. Once you get it to boot, check and clean off all
viruses found.
