Welcome to the company , your registered copy of XP Pro will be leaving tomorrow AM for delivery on Monday.

There is also some other mission critical company software on another CD, to bring you inline with our standard build

Beware, the man built his own car ....hmmmmmmm

Glad to hear you got it sorted Jason.

I've had the same problem installing OS's from non-bootable cd's in that even if I set the primary boot drive as CD-ROM it still doesn't boot off the CD. Fortunately most BIOS's now have boot manager utilities built-in to let you boot off LAN etc so changing the boot order in there to CD-ROM first usually sorts it for me.
