    Ok, you know when you have a new computer and harddrive and you start a fresh XP install? Well, the CD goes thru all of that prelimanry setup stuff and eventually you get to a point where it says "This portion of the setup is done. Remove any disks in your floppy drive. Your computer will reboot in 10 seconds and then the setup will continue." Well, my computer reboots and then it just goes thru its normal startup routine and I get to a message that says "Boot From CD". Then it just sits there, if I hit "Enter" or "Spacebar" nothing happens. I have redid this setup 5 times and the same thing keeps happening. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Is your BIOS set to use your HDD as your primary boot device?
