I have the xp disc but thats the root of my problems i can't get windows to boot so I want to reinstall it. Is there no way of doing it in the BIOS???

That's the other problem though it won't boot from the DVD drive first even when I set both first and second drive as first boot!

I tried pressing F8 and I got onto the Windows setup but it said I hadn't got any hard drives so I restarted it then I can't get onto the setup pressing F8 just takes me to a screen with options on how I would like to boot Windows.
