Post your specs or add them to your signature. Here is how: http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars

Do you get a blinking cursor after selecting the CD to boot?

It looks like you have Intel 945G Express chipset: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc....htm#wp1052310

Place your install disk in your PC. Do you see a single file on the disk or are there a few files and folders? We want to make sure that you burned the DVD from the image and did not just burn the image file on to the disk.

Press F2 on startup and enter the BIOS. Make sure that your DVD drive is set as a boot option.

Good catch. His other thread was locked because of his one-liner answers. I'm hoping the reason is that he didn't realize what he was doing and made the error you mentioned above. Good thinking.
