What does machine display on startup? Any error message?and i checked, the cd does have winxp on it. its not corrupted

Windows Installation CD doesn't work after Linux installation in a few machines and one has to remove GRUB first. Boot up from SuperGRUB CD and select Fix Windows Boot Loader option. Windows Installation CD will work after that.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Is the drive SATA? there can be problems with either BIOS setup or needing the driver for XP.
