My burned copy boots fine-maybe yours wasn't burned as a boot disk? It could be that you need to change the boot options in the BIOS. ************************************************************************* I need some help maybe someone out there can help. I have a burned copy of windows XP and I am trying to find the recovery console but, it will not let me boot from the CD drive. It tell me that I have an invalid boot file.If anyone know where i can download something that can fix this thing. Thank for your time...
