UMMMMMM YOUR BIOS IS PROBABLY BOOTING OUT OF ORDER
IN YOUR BIOS, LOOK FOR SOMETHING LIKE BOOT DEVICE ORDER OR BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY OR SOMESHIT AND MAKE SURE YOUR CDROM DRIVE IS HIGHER PRIORITY THAN YOUR HARD DRIVES
UH
KINDA HARD TO GIVE DIRECTIONS ON THIS WITHOUT SEEING YOUR BIOS SCREEN SINCE EVERY ONE IS INEVITABLY SORT OF DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S FOR SOME GODDAMN REASON
MAYBE YOU COULD TAKE A PICTURE OR SOMETHING
YOU JUST HOLD ALT DURING START UP
REAL SIMPLE LIKE
SEE MINE I HAVE TO MASH THE GODDAMN HELL OUT OF DEL TO GET THE BIOS, AND F8 TO GET A ONE-TIME BOOT MENU
AND I ONLY KNOW THIS THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR, I NEVER SEE A STATUS SCREEN 'CAUSE IT IS SO FAST
but yeah I was serious back there fandy, dig through your BIOS setup options and find Boot Device Priority or something like that
Your CD drive needs to be above everything else on there, especially your C: HDD or else it will just keep right on trying to boot from that instead of the CD (and failing)

Thanks, man, but that was the first thing I tried when booting to disks
Right now the gameplan is to buy a brand new hard drive, format it XP, plug my fucked up one in, transfer shit, kill the fucked up one, then plug in my F: and my former C: next to the new C: and just have more space in which to start a new e-life
