![]() With this, you can update the boot manager. To setup that the boot manager starts before Windows XP you have to use Rewrite loader. ![]() I tried every sort of BIOS setting - even unchecking the boot from the hard drive setting and the machine still bypassed the CD-rom and booted from the hard drive!

If you install Windows XP after the boot manager, then Windows XP will start instead of the boot manager, because the loader is overwritten with the program from Windows XP. THANK YOU so much for stating this! I spent half an afternoon yesterday with a Dell Dimension 3000 trying to boot from the Dell system utility reinstallation XP OS disk and couldn't do it. What i have to do is change the bios to boot to floppy(disk) and then boot up with the 6 disks windows xp and then it asks for the windows xp disk, then I put in the re installation disk and everything goes like clock work after that, I find in every case I have encounted this is the way I have to go.My 8100 8200 2400 they all have those red label disks and they will not boot up ,they will not work without using the 6 boot up windows xp boot disks I put it in and up comes hit F1 or f2 and then just sits there, I have checked the bios and have boot to cd checked. Not always, I have a reinstallation disk that came with the machine (red label) And it will not boot up.
