Jump to PostDid you boot your PC to the OS CD?
It should not go to "sleep" if booted from CD.These are Microsoft's instructions on how to access the repair console, If you can get here, we can try to correct your problem, please try and get back to us.

Jump to PostYou have lost me, what XP window came up? The normal XP booting window? It should have come up with a blue screen and started coping files, did it get that far?
Jump to PostOK, lets go back a bit further, do you get the screen saying "Press any key to boot from CD"?
If, yes, is that where it shows the XP screen and shuts down?
Jump to PostOK, I think I understand now.
Can you borrow a PS2 keyboard, that is one that is not plugged in to the USB but the little round plug ?
Remove your motherboard battery for a few minutes, not seconds, then try to use you keyboard again to access the BIOS
Jump to PostI have to go very soon, if I do not reply to your next post, some one else here should be able to help you soon.
