Hi

I am trying to re-image my Compaq nw8440 with Windows XP but I can't get it to boot off the cd and get the error "Cannot boot from CD: Code 5", which, in typical Windows fashion doesn't tell me anything or help me diagnose the problem.

Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

So let's see I understand:
You set your BIOS to boot to CD-ROM first.
Setup starts, but somewhere along the way, it stops and gives you this error.

Is that right?
