Start-up problem

During start-up, I get a prompt to "Strike the F1 key to continue, F2
to run the set-up utility". After pressing the F1, I get the prompt to
select XP Home Edition or MS XP setup. After 3 seconds it goes into
dos mod, I guess,"XP Home Edition Setup"-cannot find CD-Rom drive. F3
to exit. Then it reboots, repeats the sequence so I press F1-then
arrow up once to XP Home ED and everything starts up correctly. Any
thoughts, Thanks
 
After you get booted up in Xp, go to Start, Run, plug in MSCONFIG, Ok,
BOOT.INI tab, Check All Boot Paths
