How do i

[waykewljr427]

I have put my computer together finally and when i boot it up its asking or saying that its looking dmi pool data and it tried to boot from cd or dvd and fails, i believe this is a windows issue, so how do i download a copy of windows xp professional and use my cd key?

It's not a windows issue, it's the BIOS looking for a boot device.

Do you have an XP disc?

 

[waykewljr427]

no, but thats what i thought. So when i get the xp disk , do i boot from cd-rom or ...what?

Boot off the XP disc, and then try doing a windows repair.
