im trying to install windows 7 on this rig (8800GT, 2gb ram, q6600). it currently has windows xp and i have the install disc which can only boot from the cd (not the install wizard through windows).

so im trying to boot from the cd and i changed to bios settings to boot from the cd drive. however, when its booting, it says "booting from cd. press any key to boot from cd....." then when i press keys, it doesnt boot from the cd, it just loads winxp. for some reason i guess the keyboard is disabled during that screen? im not sure, but i just want to install W7...
