Any Windows CD should boot to the Command Console, which will load the NTFS SAM (security database) from the available mountable volumes, and if there's more than one, it will ask you which one you want to use (and then request a user logon with appropriate permissions for the task at hand, which for installing the OS means an administrator account). If the NTFS volume doesn't mount, that suggests that you have some other boot loader or partition management software on the machine, which can definitely mess things up. -- David W.
