This actually sounds like a bios issue. The XP disk should be bootable so if you set your bios to try to boot from the cdrom first, you should be on your way. You can usually get to your bios by hitting the delete(or something similar) key just as your computer first boots. I believe MS has a page on their website detailing how install XP in place of linux. A little googling should point you in the right direction. -- The Wandering Dru <dru at druswanderings.net> http://druswanderings.net <--- Things 'n' Such Get nifty TCLUG merchandise at the TCLUG Store! http://www.cafeshops.com/tclug _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
