CD-ROM boot order

Hi there. I am trying to boot up windows xp using the restore CD on my
second cd drive. The problem is my primary CD rom drive is broken and
i cant get it to boot from the secondary. Is there any way to change
it to boot from secondary or do I have to actually move the cd rom
from primary to secondary in the computer?

Joe, you have to go into the Bios and set the cdrom as first boot device.
It doesnt matter which Cdrom drive.
