Vista wont boot from CD

[D-Rocks]

Hey Everyone,

I have a HP pavilion a810n and im upgrading to windows vista. When i reboot the system to restart the computer so i can boot from the cd and keep pressing the space bar it wont boot from the cd. All the drives work and i try and press the space bar repeatedly it wont boot from the cd. I tried the cd in another computer and it boots from the cd. Any Ideas?

Sometimes it'll take ALONG time to scan up for the install.

If after 10-mins, then you got a problem... Even my q6600 took a few minutes.

Do you have your CD drive set to boot first in the BIOS's boot priority list?
