Hi are you trying to reinstall windows (Clean installation)

You will need to access the BIOS an change the boot priority making 'CDROM' first. this will allow you to boot from the CD..

Also if you do not know already re installing windows will erase your data therefore you will need to back up your stuff.

Let me know what happens...

Thanks Riz for the response,I really appreciate it, I tried that,i set my boot priority to CD-Rom, I even tried USB (i used a usb bootable tool,saved the disk image on the USB. IN fact it had difficulties recorgnsing the CD.
I did not want a clean installation, bcos i need the music in the harddrive...but out of fustration I tried to format the hard drive,but it will not let me into the window that gives me the option to select partitions or format..and i am very good with cmd. Also wen I try the install wizard, It says that I am missing a driver, really fustrating..
