Hi guys, i've had a problem with cousins and friends computer. When trying to install WinXP on to an empty hardisk, i set the BIOS to boot from CD-Rom, put the WinXP CD in, and restart the computer. The thing is, it searches the CD-ROM and is unable to boot.

The weird thing is that this worked fine on my computer, and 2 of my other friends computers. I was able to boot from the winxp disk and install it fine. Why doesn't it work on my cousins and friends pcs?

NB: cousins pc is an athlon 500, and friends is a new p4 2.0gig.
