Hi, A while back I tried out a windows XP startup disk from my cd-rom and now I have to my copy of Windows XP pro in the cd-rom to boot. I didn't used to have to boot this way. I've tried using the F8 key, but no luck. Anyone have an idea what I should do next? thanks, malcolm Visit our website regularly for FAQs, articles, how-to's, tech tips and much more http://freepctech.com
