    Welcome to ComputerHope, Billy.

    In future, please don't use CAPS LOCK. It makes your post hard to read.  ;)

    Did you change the Boot order in the BIOS?

      Why? No idea.

      I would try doing a System Restore and restoring the computer to an earlier date before this problem.

        System Restore
        System Restore can be run within Windows.

          This is useless advice since BILLYB1 can't get Windows XP CD working.

          Did you try to clean CD? Did you try it in another computer?

          Does this CD have shiny holograms and say Microsoft all over it ? ?
          If not that is probably the issue here...
