Ok so my computer decided to die on me. it was running windows vista ultimate, but it was upgrade only so i have to install xp first. For some reason i cant get xp to work. I have burned a xp cd a few times and it works on my other computer. I do see the 'press any key to boot from cd' but then it goes blank. What is even wierder is that i can install linux and even the vista installer will start, but xp and server 03 wont show up at all. has anyone seen this before?
