Windows CD-ROM fails to boot ....

[muks]

Hey guys,

I've messed up my system having XP and Fedora on different partitions and now i want to repair my windows by booting my Windows CD. I've changed the boot sequence in BIOS and made CD-ROM the priority.
Now when i try to boot my Windows CD then the i get to the message "Setup is inspecting your Computer's Hardware Profile" and after that the screen goes blank.

Ca someone help me booting from CD_ROM and help me sort this problem.

I would try setting your bios back to default values , see if you get your hard drive recognised in the boot up process , then if so then try a boot up with the windows cd again. I have a feeling you may have an failing hard drive issue.

EDIT
I just see that leigh has moved your post to wibble. He may not realise that you had posted before re F7 and dual boot. I had read that post. I would have edited out the references to the new kernel in the grub.conf file. So you would boot back to the older kernel. I still think you may have an physical problem on the hard drive. You could get hold of a live Fedora cd and see if that boots. You could then perhaps use gparted to have a look a the hard drive. If I remember though you were using LVM format for your F7 install and that I do not like and cannot advise on, so did not post on your orignal thread.

My hard drive is getting detected and infact fedora is booting. The only prob is Windows in not booting.

Right so if I am correct you had everything working until a kernel update?
