The company I was working for went out of business in July. I still have my company laptop and have used it to experiment with a number of things since then. After I was finished playing with the Windows 7 RC I completely erased the disk thinking I would need to do this to go back to XP. I have the machine set to boot from CD but can't get it to do anything. I have verified in the BIOS that the CD drive is the first in the boot order and have tried going through a one time boot as well. All I get is a black screen with a white flashing cursor.
Any ideas on how to get the OS to load?

Trouble loading Windows XP
Thanks for the help. The issue turned out to be a problem between the keyboard and the chair. I mistakenly grabbed the Office 2003 disk rather than the Windows XP disk. No wonder it wouldn't boot from the CD drive.
I appreciate your recommendation no less.
