Thanks for the reply. But no windows CD is able to bootup anymore! And
I've no clue why. At first I thought the WinXP CD was buggy but when I
tried other XP CDs they said something like "scanning hardware
devices" then hang there with a black screen.

Only my Fedora CD can boot up and the laptop doesn't have any floppy
drives! Any solution?
