Solve : boot from dos from dvd drive?

1.	Solve : boot from dos from dvd drive?
Answer» I'm trying to install windows xp from a boot dvd. I've used this dvd on a couple of computers and it's worked great. All you have to do is boot from it and it does the rest. The problem i'm haveing now that i'm trying to install it on my gf's computer is that i can't get it to boot from the dvd. For some reason the computer doesn't go thru/ or maybe just doesn't show you, the steps of it booting up. Like recognizing the drives and ram ect. it just goes from a black screen to windows. so i created a boot DISK to get into dos. It works but i don't know the dos COMMANDS to boot from the dvd. (grew up on MAC) so if ANYONE can tell me the commands to use in dos to boot from the dvd that would be great thanksI don't think Microsoft distributes Windows XP on DVD media. This SOUNDS like an illegal copy of Windows - especially if you have used it on a couple of other computers. Go buy a legal copy and it should work fine.
