I have a question, i know i need to change my boot sequence so that it boots
from my CD_ROM. When i put my windows xp cd in and restart my comp it says
"Press any key toi boot from cd..." now after i format my hard drive will it
boot from the cd like it did before i formated it?
 
Change the BIOS to boot from CDrom first, then after formatting and
partitioning the HD (if that is what you want to do) install XP on the CD
drive. During the install your PC will boot several times. When you see the
message "Press any key to boot from cd" during this process, do NOT do
anything, just let it run it course. After XP is installed, you can leave
the BIOS set to boot from the CDrom and XP will boot normally.
Good Luck
