>Go to your software store and buy Disc Sanitizer Pro or
some other program that wipes your hard drive. Then try
what you've done. Be sure to enter bios after you've
wiped and select CD-rom as your first boot option. Boot
with your windows disc in. Have any windows startup disc
handy. Use it when it tells you, remove all discs from
your system and restart. Go figure. Good luck.
