Ihor 0 Posted November 11, 2002 I burned a slipstreamed Cd of XPPro SP1 and it boots and installs on my Toshiba laptop. I tried to boot and install the same CD on a Compaq laptop and all that appears is Code 5: cannot boot from CD. What gives? Any help would be apreciated! Thanks in advance. ;( Share this post Link to post

djnes 0 Posted December 5, 2002 Also, I have seen on some older laptops, they have trouble installing an OS from a burned CD. Just a thought. How old is the Compaq? Share this post Link to post

Could be the type of CDROM no compatible with the CD. Used to see that alot in the early CDR days. Share this post Link to post
