Computer while booting will see the CD-rom and harddrive then the screen goes blank and the text "YoYo" appears and that is it. The "o" look more like a small "8" laid on it's side.

It will not reconize XP CD or any other CD. I have GWSCAN and it will start the CD and go to A prompt when you pull a dir it isn't the file on the CD.
