Back to XP Pro from W7 Pro 64 Bit...But....
Suddenly, my pc will no longer boot to my XP CD.
Into the BIOS I go, checking my boot order. It's still set to boot to CD first just like it has been for months. I pretty much leave all of my pc's that way.
Once the pc restarts, it sits with the media card reader and DVD drive lights solid for approx. 1 minute, then immediately boots to W7.
Put my W7 DVD in to see if it would do the same thing with it, but it works fine. Not sure what's going on here. I need to format the drive and get my XP back on, but I don't think I can pull that off unless I can boot to my XP CD. Also took the CD to my laptop and my wifes pc to test it out, both of those will boot to it no problem. Not sure if it has something to do with the way the drive is currently formatted or what. Is this a 64 bit to 32 bit thing?
I'm certainly up for suggestions, and ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.
