Troubles installing windows!

ive installed windows and it tells me to reboot so it can continue setup but when it does it goes back to the beginning of the install setup...Do i have to change the boot order in the bios or?

IIRC, you need to boot from the HD after restart.

Enter bios and change the boot order so the HDD is before the CD/DVD. Or alternatively don't press "any" key when prompted and the machine should then boot from HDD (as long as HDD is listed after DVD in boot menu)

this only usually happens on taking the disk out. Just keep the installation disk in and let it do the restart by itself and you should have no problems. failing this check out microsofts site:
