I just got my computer together with the bios working. I have a burned copy of windows xp 64 bit and it will not read it. The dvd burner reads other cd's just not the windows. So I have all the files for xp and a valid serial number.... So what can I do? I am missing the boot sector or something. Can I make a new cd that will work or do I need the real copy of windows? Any info would be appreciated greatly. I have had this beautiful new computer for weeks now and i cant even use it.

If your bios is correctly set as 1st boot device = CD-ROM, then your Windows disk would seem to be bad.

It's against the rules of this forum to discuss illegal copies, so we cant help you further, with "burned copies".
