Windows XP

by dipper2 . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

My son bought a copy of Windows XP Professional at his university, and I upgraded his computer from 2000 to XP with no problems. Now his motherboard had to be replaced and the new ASUS PQ5L does not seem to recognize the XP CD as a bootable CD. The Bios on the motherboard is seeing the CD drive, but the system jumps over the CD as a boot device. When I force the system to look at the CD (by having the CD drive as the only boot device), I get a message that I need to insert a bootable disk. This version of Windows XP was billed as a full up version, the word “Upgrade” does not appear anywhere on the CD.
