Xp pro install.

No error message at all, It just doesn't start to load. I tried the CD on my desktop and it wouldn't load there either. Don't have a clue what the problem is.
 
Are you actually getting to the "Press any key to boot from CD" or does it just sit there. I have a newer Toshiba, and if I press F12 it will give me a boot menu to choose from. Do you have this option?
 
Have you ever been able to boot from CD? Since the CD doesnt boot in your desktop, it is possible that the disk is bad.
