got windows runing using a plane cd rom. dvd drive worked fine on my other computer. i transfered it over. i see it in bios. while still in dos, it says new hardware found, asks if i want to start in safe mode, safe mode networked, last known good startup, or normal. iv tried them all and it just reboots itself and goes back to the same window. the windows xp statup thing will show up(where the bar goes back and forth), will say welcome, and it just reboots. what do i do.
 
do you have anything else running on the same IDE channel? I had a problem with booting with my LiteON CDRW and regular CD-ROM when on the same channel..
 
no, the dvd rom can be the only thing pluged into my IDE and it does the same thing. made it secondary with cdrom, same thing, put it on other IDE channel, same thing.
