Correct..
I found out that Windows XP uses 'El Torito' Emulation for its Boot Discs... Maybe his BIOS doesn't support that emulation... A BIOS flash will surely make it work...

my bios version is 1008 , i uprgaded to 1009

the upgraded version 1009 looks different from the older version 1008

iam unable to select the boot device & it doesnt have an option of delete and f8 key to select my boot .

it automatically detects floppy and cdrom ,its not detecting my harddisk

what i have to do

thanks for the reply
