Hello again, This Dell system uses CS 'Cable Select' to set master slave. The device set on the very end of the cable is Master, and the middle device is Slave. But, just put the install CD in the other drive and reboot to check. And yes, you should see a prompt at startup that passes very quickly with an option to. 'Boot from CD'.
I'm trying to do a clean reinstall of XP SP1a from a reinstallation disk that came with an old Dimension 2400. Currently has SP2 runninig. Ive changed the boot sequence so CD is first but when i start there is no option to install windows. It just boots normally. Any ideas?
Reinstall
