Difficulty in formatting PC from CD

[kaluota]

Hi Forum Members

First of all I thank Microsoft for this wonderful opportunity.

I encountered a problem in the process of trying to format my PC. I actually set boot sequence for the PC to boot from a bootable XP CD in a confirmed good CD Rom drive. But all I got on two different CDs I tried it was CANNOT BOOT FROM CD:CODE 5.

This is truely piecing! Please help out by stating the procedure I should take in order to solve this problem.

Have you tested this bootable CD in another computer ?

Updating the BIOS cured this problem for me on computers which gave Error Code 5.
