I have recently been trying to boot-up my computer
using my XP Home disc, but when I put it in the drive and
restart my machine, the "Press any key to boot from disc"
message does not appear! I have 'booted' my machine
before, but I just got a new disc drive, so I'm thinking
this is the source of the problem. Can someone please
help me?

Set the BIOS to see the CD ROM as the first drive, if that is not already
the case.
To enter the BIOS settings, press <del> (or whatever the screen indicates)
at bootup, prior to XP start.
