    Yes. You have found a correct CD which CONFIRMS that your CDs were burned wrong. Sorry.

    Remove linux completely and do a complete reformat BEFORE you insert the Windows disk.

    Looks like you've found your solution. Let me know if it works.

    When it's booting, hit F2 or F8, can't remember which one. Takes you to the set up screen. Should be the "Format Hard Drive" option somewhere. That should kill you Linux too.

    Fenix hit the nail on the head.

    Lol, way to unnecessarily quote ya big bad mod ;)

    You need to COMPLETELY wipe the drive. So using fdisk like Fenix stated would work.

    And don't try to install on an existing partition. DELETE IT ;)

    Unless you have a god-sized hard drive, like 500gig

    LOL Nice subtitle JBL, I always knew you were freaky what with the crazy dancing man (please tell me it's not you) in your signature. :D

    I'm glad your computer is (semi) fixed. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Operating Systems are a b*tch in general.

    Anything produced by anyone.

    Only open source has a proven track record of success.

    Don't talk like Apple is all high and mighty. They suck too.
