One of my neighbours has a Celeron cpu based system that uses an older Asrock 845GV-m motherboard.I recently attempted to format and install windows xp on his system but discovered that his system could not boot from the Windows xp installation disc.To fix this issue,i set the first boot device to his DVD-RW drive in his motherboard's bios and saved the updated settings-despite that the system still refused to boot from CD-while booting,it displayed a message that said it could not find any "boot record" in the disc and proceeded to boot from the HDD instead.Then i restarted the system and manually selected his dvd-rw drive as the boot device by pressing the F11 key while his system was starting up but it again showed the same error and booted from the HDD.
I was using a bootable disc-i tested it with another bootable windows xp installation cd but his pc could not boot from that one either which indicates that something is wrong with it.What can i do now to resolve this issue?
