problem reinstalling win xp

[toughwimp11]

I'm trying to reinstall win xp pro but when I tell it to boot from CD, it gives me the error that CDBOOT: Couldn't Find NTLDR and I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions?

EDIT: It's not the CD either because I've tried it on another computer and it booted fine.

What are you doing to "tell it to boot from CD"?

 

[toughwimp11]

i switched the boot options in the bios so that CD comes first

still could be a cd / drive issue as the CD might not be read properly in this particular drive.

Verify you don't have any other USB thumbdrives or USB external hard disks attached... you might be trying to boot off of something else.
