garganroo Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Ok, so ive spent a ton of money so I could build my own computer, I got all of my computer talented friends to help me, assembly, very easy, but after that I go to my bios and tell it to boot from cd-rom. I insert my windows xp cd, and i get a boot error, my friends tried everything they know and after 5 hours we kinda gave up, any ideas?
