I have a Dell Latitude 510 with a clean hard drive & no recovery disks and it has only one bay for floppy & cd. I have a problem trying to install xp as cd drive won't load,suspect no drivers & when I load setup with floppys it doesn't reconise any cd installed because floppy is in use. Greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Do you have the CD-R to boot first in the BIOS?

Yes, I have it booting from the CD first, but it trys to boot but reverts back to Hard drive. The only thing I can think the CD drive may not be working. Thanks for your reply

Sorry for the late reply. had a addicting game span over the weekend.

Can you hear the cd-r trying to read the cd?

Yes, the cd sounds like it wants to spin up, but does not sound like its at the normal speed when you insert a cd

Might have a bad CD-R.

Does the CD work with any other computer?
