Check the connection to th cdrom drive, maybe cable came loose.

Nope i have checked that. Have tried all possible combinations with all the ide cable and still has the same message come up. The drive works fine as i just burnt the disc with it and it reads disc fine to.

It might read the disk fine but unless you made it bootable it won't boot. What process did you use to burn it? Did you copy it, burn an image or what? Since part of your original post is missing I presume, i have no idea what you have done. Since forum rules was put in TFT's post.

I used PowerISO and dragged and dropped the file into the powerISO program and pressed burn at the lowest speed 4x 600kbs

To help with your reply John, it was a link to the torrent site where XP was downloaded.
