i have a machine with windows XP installed and want to installed server 2003, i have the disk here but everytime i go to boot from cd i get the "press any key to boot from cd" message, but it ignores my key presses and launches stright into windows xp start up

i know the disk is fine as ive booted off it and installed on another machine.

Using a USB Keyboard? Try a PS/2 one.

Sometimes my keyboard seems to drop its connection during the booting process. Use an old ps/2 one to get around the issue
