how do i stop windows xp from boot off the Cd? "HELP"
this been going for a 2weeks not driven me crazy
it keep asking for a floppy to boot off of when system restarts, i was ok before but now it have to have the cd in the tray to bootup on? don't even have a clue why it doing it in the first place, try system restory no good. try scan disk no good. try system repair again no good, as for another version of windows that is not the right one for this system. it Windows Xp home SP2 it says it need Windows Xp pro SP2 Cd, nuts it not even that at all.

Chris, it cant be a autorun when it is on bootup.
Chief, have you looked into the BIOS? Maybe if you remove your CD and floppy from the boot order it will work normal?

^ What he said ^
In your bios there should be options to specify: 1. First boot device. 2. Second boot device. ? 3. Third boot device. Change one of these to "Hard Drive" or "HD" etc.. My bios is set to: 1. Floppy 2. CD-ROM 3. Hard Drive Usually the way to change a setting is to use the arrow keys to highlight the option, then use the "+" & "-" to change the setting. Don't forget to "Save & Exit". |

Boot Disk
Boot Disk
Probably you need to make an XP Boot Disk then once it is at Startup select Run with CD-ROM support. I do not know if this is related to this but with CD-ROM support then you are in luck. Chris_OJB_DF645 --
