Windows XP Install Problem

Hi Folks,

I just setup a blank system for a buddy of mine, and I stuck the windows cd in the first time and there was no problems whatsoever. I then realized that I should probably partition the hard drive and quit the XP install.

Great, now when I turn it on it finishes the bios process.. and just sits there because theres nothing on the hard drive. I've cleared the CMOS and nothing happens, I've witched the cd roms master slave and all that.

How do I get this computer to boot off of this damn cd!
 
If you cleared CMOS it probably reset the boot sequence. For now just set it to CDRom first and hard drive second.

Do you get a 'press any key to boot from cd...' message?

Is this an original XP CD (has a hologram)?
