troubles installing Windows XP
Today one of my friends told me he encountered a problem installing Windows XP on a ACER C-310 laptop.
He set in BIOS CD-ROM as its first boot-device and then after restart the laptop doesn't recognize the bootable Windows XP CD-ROM.  This CD-ROM works very well on his other PC, but not here.Normally he should have seen the "Press any key to boot from CD..." message but nothing appears. The CD-ROM device is working properly, but I don't know what to tell him...  Do you have any suggestions ?

Re: troubles installing Windows XP
Well, the CD worked on his primary laptop and perhaps it's the ROM drive causing the problem.
