I ordered an off-lease machine thinking it would be no big deal to install an operating system. Machine is an IBM ThinkCentre S51, 8171-21U. Getting command prompt when I turn the machine on under Windows 98 wording. I can't seem to get it to boot from my XP cd. Also can't get the light to come on on the cd drive by typing in drive letters. It will read the floppy drive by typing in letters. I need to get to the BIOS to change the boot order if possible. Or any other suggestions to get this thing to read my XP disc? I've done a clean xp install but never one over old Windows installation.
Thanks!
