set bios to boot from my cdrom drive and... nothing happen. My winXP just bootup like it it always.
Hi,
I had the same problem with Asus (new DSL-CD, but always Windows showing up) but it turned out to be not the fault of the notebook but my own: Somewhere I read that it is necessary to switch off the "Quick boot" in your BIOS and now it's working without problems . When active, Quick boot will always overrun your own choice of the booting device...
Good luck!

PS: I admit I'm new on Linux, too, and it took quite a lot of searching to find this trick!Hi,
one more thing: Do you use ESC for booting or F9? (Probably it's the same on your Asus as on my A6) When pressing F9 you will get the recovery (of your XP), with ESC you can choose the booting device. Perhaps you could tell us if it worked

I forgot: Thanks to Brian! I managed to burn a "real" CD with your hint after having spoiled one using "bootable CD" on Nero...
