Make sure the CD isnt damaged, and make sure that the box that pops up is pointing to the correct drive where your CD is.

i dont think the cd is damaged there are no scratches on the cd.i tryed to put another XP disk,same think happens.

It may be an issue with your CD drive; try another one. (It's either the CD or the drive; by replacing one or the other, you should be able to get around your problem. Note that even though there is no visable damage to your CD, it still may have issues).

Try to use a win98 bootdisc in the A drive or floppy, for some odd reason this worked for me.
