Does it leave you at the A:\ prompt?
You need to change your drive to the CD ROM and then type setup.
Like:
d: [Enter]
setup [Enter]

your bootdisk will undoubtably create D: as a virtual drive so you may also want to try:
E: [Enter]
setup.exe [enter]
yes it does give me the a:\ prompt. i still don't understand how to change my drive to the cd rom. what do i have to do specifically?
please ignore that last post. i figured out what you were talking about and it worked perfectly. thanks for your help!
