wired14 · 12-08-03, 05:52 PM

I insert the cd in the cd rom , i click on the "ok" to reboot system but when it restarts it loads windows not the installationg wizard

why?

make your cd-rom the first boot device

that should help

it worked fine though when i installed XP last week......

Perhaps you did not burn the iso correctly. Simply copying the iso to a cd is not how it's done. You have to burn an image from the iso, otherwise the CD is not bootable.
