It won't even boot to the point where I can see the bios screen, it just flickers as if the laptop screen turns on, then it goes back to nothing. Like that lighter shade of black when it recieves power. While its doing this, the loading LED flashes and the CD Rom acts like its searching for a disk as it does on boot up. So I cannot see anything at all to be able to boot into BIOS or run an xp live cd.
