Hi Aaron,
No, my new system doesn't boot into a text screen, not even temporarily. Unlike Win95/98/NT, XP
(on my PC) boots right into a Dell logo, then the Windows logo.

when your system boots but before XP starts loading, there should be a bit of
text on-screen telling you how to enter your BIOS setup. it's usually
something like pressing Delete .... that will get you into your BIOS setup,
and from there you need to change your boot device settings to allow booting
from the CD-ROM... take care...

Also, you may need to open the case to change the
hard drive and CDRom to master/slave instead of
cable select, somebody else on list confirm this?
or write how to get round it? I'm not totally certain.
