trying to install xp-not recognizing cd

Hi-

I am putting xp on a formatted , partiioned drive, but can't get it to
recognize the cd. It's been so long since I had to do this, I don't
remember how. Do I need a 98 bootdisk? I went into cmos and designated
the cd drive as the bootdisk, still stuck.

Help please.

thanx

You need to change the boot settings in the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM

If changing the BIOS doesn't work, then try using the Win98 Boot disk. I
know there is website out there that has all the boot disks for all the
Windows OS's. Do a search for them.
