At what point are you using the F8 key.
With a normal dual boot OS you will get to a menu that gives you the choice
of which OS you want to boot to.
After you select the OS on your C drive then you use your F8 key which will
take you to another menu that gives you choices to boot to Safe MOde etc.
Is this what you are seeing?
How did you manage to install the OS without the ability to boot off of the
XP cd? Or was this before you changed to the LG Drive?
