Windows XP SP2
I am trying to do a clean install of XP Pro SP2. It runs ok after loading
some files, but when it needs to re-boot, I do this, but it just returns to "To boot from cd press enter" and wants to start the process all over again

Don't press anything and the PC will boot from the hard drive.

You have to press a key to boot from CD. Don't. Let it say that every time until it tells you that Windows XP is installed. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So it's giving you the option. Just ignore the "To boot from cd press enter" message and let it boot from the hard drive instead -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
