I'm new and I have a cpu booting question

[flashcheetah]

Alright,

I have a xbox 360 and I want to run Media Center Edition on my computer. I've gotten an Media Center Edition XP to MCE rollup Iso from another source and I created a bootable cd with that image file. Now when I go to boot my computer with it, it says "missing Operating System" anyone know what this is? I can't figure it out.

I also got an XP Ultimate Iso. I tried that and it says the same thing. "Missing Operating System".

I've tried converting the Iso to a Bin file and everything. I can't get this thing to work.

I tried using Daemon Tools but I get halfway and it says that I'm missing "arp15a5d.sys" I don't know what this system file is but I'm missing it.

At this moment I'm running Windows XP Professional 2002 service pack 3.

Any one have any ideas? Anything will help. If I'm fighting to a losing cause please let me know. lol

Have you checked your bios settings to see if its set to the right hard drive, if you have more than one. I had this happen once updating my bios, it automatically switched the boot drive to the biggest drive... Thats all I got about that.
Also by "from another source" I gather that you downloaded this. It might be a bad file or bad download.

If you did indeed download this file, it probably has a few viruses bundled along with it too. The only thing I can suggest at the moment, is to completely format the hard drive (use SeaTools in DOS mode or something like that), and try again with your normal operating system. I know its a pain and takes a while, but if in your position, thats what I'd do.
