    Resolved [serious] Booting from CD on old laptop [resolved]

    I am trying to boot from a CD on an old laptop to install WinXP. The HDD is newly formatted, but it won't load the CD when I have it in the drive and boot up the thing. BIOS never gives an option to choose my medium to boot from, so I think I have to have a disk which makes the thing load the files from the CD. How can I do this? Where can I get the files to put on the disk?
    I need this done fairly quickly, so any help would be nice.
