Out of curiosity, does a Windows Xp Pro cd have to be burned from an
.iso image in order for the Windows Xp Pro cd to be bootable? I too
can't get my Windows cd to work either but my Linux cd does. It's not
really that important but I would like to know the answer to that anyway
in case I decided to use Windows Xp Pro again later on in the future.
Once I get my problem (Which I asked previously when I first joined here
this morning) taken care of I'll be going to Linux.
