    Can't boot Windows CD

    Okay, so here's the deal. I've just put together a new computer - Shuttle SN27P2, X2 5000+, Gig of XMS2 etc. I've been trying to install an OS on it for hours, and finally ended up with XP x64, a place where i don't want to be. Thing is, it wouldn't let me boot XP x86, Media Centre, Vista - none of them. Just came up with "Could not read from CD-Rom, error code 80800279" everytime. It has an nvidia 570 Ultra motherboard, and it's not the cd drive that's at fault because i managed to install x64. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? I'd really appreciate any input you can give,

    Thanks,

    Tim

    You could check in the bios and see if any anti-virus protection is enabled, if it is, disable it and try again.
