Here's the deal. My nephew asked me to put together his new computer. Nothing fancy, 1.6ghz duron, 128mb of memory a 40 gig hd and a 52x cdrom. I put everything together and and it seems to be slow to boot. First it checks for the IDE dirves which takes about 2 minutes, then it checks dmi verify data......
Then it says: boot from cd:
Ive check the bios and the settings are good. Ive checked the cables and every thing is good. I placed the xp pro disk in the cdrom and windows started up and loaded, but after the computer reboots. I get the same boot from cd: message. Does any one have suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong? Is it a hardware prob? Any help or tips would be great.
