    I'm having trouble getting it to boot to the windows cd. I have a buddy that works for Microsoft and bought a Vista Ultimate from him through the Microsoft store. Anyway, long story short:

    I'm trying to use the my Vista Ultimate disk and I press F12 when my computer turns on. Then I select to boot from my DVD RAM and nothing happens.

    What's going on lol? I can't boot to the disk!

    Can you boot from another disc, like a Linux Live CD?

    Nothing happens, as in it just sits on the boot menu that came up when you pressed F12?
