Error booting

[gr8fl4295]

When my iMac 20" shuts down then boots to install XP, I get a black screen with the words....

"Error booting from CD/DVD drive.
Press any key to reboot..._"

and it seems to not recongnize the keyboard, because pressing any key doesn't do anything.

does it sound like my install disc is f'ed up?

any help?

thanks

I partitioned my disk so that there is one HFS+, one Unix(should work with linux), and one FAT32 partition with diskutil. (In this Order, so XP is last)

I tried to install windows, and got the option to keep the partition table exactly, when installing windows, and therefore installed directly on the FAT32 partition that I made with the Disk Utility.

When restarting after the CD installation is complete, I get the same error. Is the problem related to my unusual partitioning of my drive?

thanks

exact same problem as the first guy's post here...
is there any chance you are using a 1.42 gig ISO file with some alerations in it?

thanks!
