Right now i have my computer built but dont have the OS in it yet. My dad bought a gateway laptop and with it came an OS Disk. It is windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Now when i go to install it, it says that i need to put the OS disk into the drive but it is in there. Could it be the dive its self or do i need another disk?

Thnx Pyro

so you're trying to install windows right? well you have to put the disc in right after you start your computer and boot off the cd

Go into biops and select CD as the first in the boot order.
