i tried to reinstall windows xp onto my computer but there was a problem, in the middle of installing it, it says that it didnt copy the right files onto the computer and theres incorrect parameters with the ASMS or something. and now when i reboot it doesnt say press any key to boot from cd even though i have it set to say that, it just says "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart," even though there is no disks in the computer and if u press any key it just keeps showing up again. i want it to boot from the windows cd so i can try to reinstall windows again, how am i able to make it boot from the cd?
