You might need to enable booting from CD in the BIOS.Originally Posted by etnarama
When your PC first switches on, it should say something like "Press F1 to enter setup"... it's not always F1, it's sometimes another F-key or DEL or something... but you have to press it pretty sharpish.
Have a poke around for anything relating to boot options. Make sure that when it's looking for volumes to boot from, it tries (in this order): Floppy --> CD --> Hard Disk.
Sounds fairly terminal dude... never heard of anthing quite like this.
Assume it's a shonky Windows?
