It may be that they won't let the box boot from a Windows CD. I used to have this problem all the time when I was at Comp USA. I forgot about it until he mentioned that was the case. This is why proprietary systems suck *******.

Yeah it had a proprietary hp bios that wouldnt let you book off any disk other than the hp one, you couldnt even boot update the bios if you wanted to cause it wont let you boot off the floppy to get to a bios tool
