My computer has :
An AMD +2600 1.6 Gigahertz processor with 192 megabytes of RAM and 40 Gigs on the HD. (7 available)
My CD-ROM drive is a Cyberdrv CW088D CD/R/RW
I have RAID installed.
I cannot boot up the Windows CD from the CD-ROM Drive.
I am trying to re-install Windows Office XP. ( I have the 2002 version currently installed)
I have been following the instructions to boot up from my cd-rom. However, when I do, the computer keeps on instructing me to put in a boot up disk into a boot up drive. I can use the cd-rom drive and it functions well for everything except this.
I have tried reloading the disk after startup.
I have changed my boot up order in BIOS to start with CD-ROM.
I have taken the HDD off as a boot up option.
I have used the F11 key to order a directly boot up from the CD-Rom
I have reloaded the drivers for the CD-Rom and checked the status. (“Working Properly” it says)
After every singe one of these changes the result is still the same.
Any advice as to how I can re-install the Windows XP OS by either fixing this cd-rom problem or by any other means?
Thanks in advance,
Maurice
