I have performed a clean install of Windows XP multiple times booting from a CD; however I seem to be experiencing difficults booting from our Dell Demension 8100. The keyboard works, as I am able to use it to load both the BIOS and Boot Choice Menu. I am also able to select the device to boot too. Once the device is selected, the message "Press Any Key" appears, I have tried pressing just single keys and also jamming as many keys as possible on the keyboard. However, no combinations appear to work. I am using a USB keyboard which appears to work fine during the boot sequence. Any help is appreciated.

I have also allowed it follow the boot order set in the BIOS. The "Press Any Key" is displayed and pressing single keys and/or combinations does not appear to work.

Thanks in advance.
