I'm trying to format my laptop, I put the windows XP cd in the drive, now where you restart your computer it should run the cd first before it goes to windows, but that doesn't happen to me, can anyone help me?

thanks

2) maby your xp isn't bootable?

what does having centrino technology have to do with booting into the BIOS? In any event, try Delete, F1-F12, Escape, it's something.. press them all at once if need be

try pushing del key when it is booting. or f1, f2, f10 etc.... It will flash on the screen saying push a key to boot from cd.. you need to do that
