Need help with a new PC
Hey there!

My friend bought a new PC today without OS installed. The seller told him that only needed to stick in the cd with xp on it to install it.

But here is where the problem starts. We have done exactly what  the seller told but every time it sais that boot is faild.

Can someone tell me what are we doin wrong?

Have you set your boot order in the BIOS?  Thats key...put the CD drive first.

I don't believe computers automatically boot from CDs, OS included or not.  Try tapping F2 (or one of the other "F" keys) as the computer starts up to bring up a boot menu allowing you to load from different places, like your disk drives.  Choose to boot from your CD drive, and proceed from there.
