i just got hold of an older thinkpad 600E. i would like to install a fresh copy of windows xp on it, but i can't get the 24x CD-Rom to become the boot device.

i've tried through the bios and it ignores the CD in the drive. the notebook does not have a floppy drive.

please help.

My wife has the same laptop. You must have the latest bios and you must have a floppy drive in order to update the bios in order to install Windows XP (got mine on ebay. You can also check the sale/trade forums here).

Here's some links for you to check out:
