HI.

I have a WinXP bootable CD which I have used to install
WinXP on my computer before. I just tried booting off it
and it boots from the CD but it goes to the 'Windows is
inspecting your hardware configuration' and after a
couple of seconds the computer reboots. Any ideas on why
this may be happening? I know it's not the CD because it
will work on another computer. Has anyone ever come
across this before. The only new hardware that I have in
the computer are 2 SATA drives. Let me know.

THanks.

Yurij
