I want to install a fresh copy of Windows XP over my current XP. In my BIOs, I've set the BOOT priority to CD/DVD then Hard DISK (I don't have a floppy drive). Upon rebooting, it will initialize that it's booting from the CD/DVD drive by saying "Boot from CD/DVD". After 5 - 10 seconds or so, it will just go STRAIGHT into launching my current XP. If I remember correctly, LAST time I did this it brought me to a screen where I have to accept a EULA in order to proceed with the installation. Any way to make it boot from CD/DVD correctly?

My CD/DVD drive is functioning correctly, my Windows XP DVD is clean and readable, and my system is about a year old.When you exit the BIOS are you saving changes?Of course I saved the changes. Thus "Upon rebooting, it will initialize that it's "Boot from CD/DVD" statement".Are you pressing any random key? If your aren't it will just boot into xp. When it says "Boot from CD/DVD" you need to press Enter within a certain time, or it will boot from the next device on the list.
Thank you guys. Without your help, I would've never had figured it out. It seems that I was using a USB keyboard and my computer did not recognize it. So I went and got a PS2 keyboard. That's why whenever I pushed my keys on the USB keyboard, it wasn't working!

Problem Solved. Thanks guys.
