Can’t boot from CD

by tom dee . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

Hello,

I’ve read the other posts that seem similar to my problem but mine is a little different. I cannot boot this Dell Dimension 3000 desktop (windows xp) using the windows xp cd from dell. I’ve gone into the Bios and changed the options to boot from CD first.

I am never prompted to press any key to boot from CD after this. it is just a continuous loop of failing when trying to boot up. any suggestions?

i’ve tried:

going to bios and changing boot option to CD while disabling floppy and hard drive.

i never get the option to press any key to boot from CD. it just bypasses that and then fails

-Tom
