Is the drive you are putting the DVD into a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive?
As it will run the XP installation (which comes on CD) one tends to assume
that it is a CD-ROM drive. DVDs will not run in a CD-ROM drive, you have to
have a DVD drive (yes, CD will run in a DVD drive, but not the other way
around.

And replies like that will likely get you even less help, acting like a jerk
and name calling kinda tends to make people not want to help you. If your
going to use these groups it's a very smart idea to use them properly, or
don't use them at all.

Your comments, Rat_uk are un-called for and are offensive.

David B is correct when he suggests that you check your orginal posts before
posting the same problem again. All your comments will have done is
antagonise the very people who you wish help from.

I should hope you are man enough to apologise!
