Windows XP Pro SP2 CD won't boot
For some reason my Windows XP SP2 CD isn't booting.
I'm having no problems with booting Linux CDs, only my Windows CDs. I even tried an older WinXP Pro CD, which wouldn't boot either.
What could the problem be? Yes, these are real Windows CDs, not backups/burned copies/etc.
edit: Also, I forgot to mention the CD worked fine when I attempted to start the Windows installation from within Windows. A Dell Live Chat technician told me how to boot from CD, which worked, and told me to format my C: drive. I did so and only after this has the CD stopped working.
