Greg M.,
Yes, you are at a disadvantage trying
to debug the problem if you don't have a known
well behaving CD drive and if you haven't even
tried a "plain" CD R in the drive.
If the drive is a CD burner and if it reads your
XP install disk, then you know the drive reads OK.
So, if after booting the drive reads the install disk
but not your R/W burned disk, then the problem is
either the protocol used to burn the disk or the
drive doesn't work with R/W disks.
I would certainly try burning a "plain" CD-R disk and
see what happens.
What program are you using to burn the CD.
