Boot XP from CD-Rom? Need help fellas...
Donkey_Kong:
I have windows XP Media Edition and it won't boot up all the sudden. Maybe if I had a boot disc cd-rom? Can't find any cd that came with the system (lost it). Is there any otherway that I can boot windows? Keep in mind there is no floppy drive, only a cd drive.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!
Crax:
Try to be a bit more specific with your issue and it would be easier to recommend something.
But yes, you can get a copy of WMC and boot off the cd and do some recovery type things depending on the problem that you have
Donkey_Kong:
Well after restarting by pressing the power button instead of loading windows normally i get a black screen. The only thing I'm able to do from that screen is the BIOS SETUP UTILITY. Here I am able to select Boot Device Priority. Since I'm unsuccessful booting from the HD maybe I could boot from CD Rom. Problem is I do not have a boot cd. Checked microsoft website and can't find a file to download (maybe not finding it).
Basically my question is this...Is there anything I can DL to make a boot cd?
Thanks!

Get a live linux iso (knoppix, fedora, zenwalk, etc). You're probably going to find that your hard drive is not available.

Well, the answer to your question is no. Microsoft does not provide Windows CDs for download (why would anyone buy it if they did), so you'll either need to find a friend with a disc, or download one illegally through bittorrent or something like that.
