cohen do u know what u are talkin about.. if u have a non bootable disc in the drive it will just go from there to booting from the hdd, and if its a bootable disc then he will have the option to boot from disc or hdd..

but as far as this guys problem could possibly mean a bad hard drive

well yes i do just front experiences when i CD in the drive it didn't boot and i couldn't figure out why - and then i found it was a disc in the drive causing the problem.

But anyway i suppose it is up to your guys and / or the OP

How often you have a bootable cd in? And if you have it will say. Press any button to start cd.

when you have that boot order:
1. when it displays press any key do boot from cd....
you must take out the cd and restart

bad ...
2. every time you start the OS , it will search the cd/dvd drive (it takes time)
It slows down the OS and some times when you have a cd with autorun it may couse problems!

To the problem!
Every problem that can't be solve under Windows can be removed!
REINSTALL WINDOWS !!!

how is that, it would just prompt u with hit ne key to boot from cd, in that case dont hit a key if u dont wanna boot.. 2nd my comp is set to boot from both my dvd burner and dvd drive before my hdd, my xp/ubuntu boots up like 1-2 seconds slower now..

when I went to switch on and after a while it said 'invalid boot diskette

that im almost positive is a hdd problem.. i doubt pepsi girls lets reinstall windows cuz ur gettin that error is gunna work..
