I want to install Window xp home on to my computer, but unfortunately, when I try to boot from cd, it just freezes on "Press any key to boot from cd.." But when i put my vista cd in, it works. I have a seperate partition for xp and did the diskpart thing in vista cd. Still no luck. When I try to install xp home from autoplay, the install button is blank out. I dont like vista that much and still prefer xp :]

And by the way, I tried with 3 different window home cd. Seems like the computer want vista and does not want to revert back :/

Usually caused by corrupt or damaged CDs.
If you have more than one drive, try the CD in the other CD drive. You never know.
