I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100 computer. The hard drive started acting up and I was able to copy most of my files off of it. It would then boot sometimes and then not. I bought a new hard drive and put it in and started it up and was going to load W XP home operating system. I put the cd in the disk drive and then powered it up and I could hear the hard drive start and then the CD dive came on but nothing on the screen. What's up. What should I do now? Am I missing something??

The is the first time that I have worked on a lap top so any guidance and comments would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.
