Thanks Dai... But the system is not having a problem recognizing the opticals drives when xp boots up. I'm trying to boot from the cd not from the HDD. Does it even matter whether I've got a HDD hooked up to the system to be able to boot from CD. (Windows)Registry settings are saved on the HDD. I DO NOT want to boot from the HDD.

I'm thinking it's more of a BIOS issue.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.
