Boot Problem.


Hello everyone.

I have used linux before, (Gentoo, Slackware) and I am returning, but i'm having a problem.

When i put in the CD to boot it on start up, it doesn't work.

I've edited the bios to allow the CD-ROM drive boot proity but it still does not work.

It sits there for about thirty seconds with a flashing white dot, then goes into Windows (XP)

Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks.
