Boot from a W98 boot floppy with CD drivers. If you can read a CD from the DOS prompt, then that program messed up your windows drivers. I don't think this is the case though. Have you been able to boot from your CD before? If so, make sure your CD is set as the primary boot device in BIOS. Then disconnect the HDD and see if your PC will boot from the CD. If not, play taps for your CD drive, because it died a good death. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ummm, sorry. You're probably not amused.
