Thanks for the info.

I have Windows ME on my cpu.
I created a boot disk but my system tells me that it is a none system disk and press any key once I have replaced it.

How do I check the boot squence (order) in the bios?

About the cdrom:
1)I have windows me
2)my cdrom worked before, i think the virus is causing the problem with it.
3)I will check the bios infomation as soon as i find out how to. :-\
4)No error in the device manager
5)I ran a anti virus scan on my system and the cdrom disapeared
6)yes the cables are cattached properly
7)no other problems that i know of.
