Can someone please tell me why my laptop computer wont start windows xp?

[Chris S]

Each time I start my computer it starts off asking what method I want, safe mode, normal, etc. Whatever I pick, it just reboots over and over saying something like this "partition rdisk windows 32" and then blue screen that says "unmountable boot volume"
I tried to put in my Windows XP CD and it wont even read it each time it boots up.
I really have no clue what to do since all it does is keep booting over and over and wont even read CD drive. Please help.

ok you have to pick safe mode and if it dont work you have to install windows and make sure as soon as you see when the xp disk is in boot from cd you hit enter

1 Enter BIOS: Hit del while starting the computer, you will enter the BIOS setup. Go to 'advanced' make the CD the first boot device.
2. Restart with the CD in the drive, the computer boots in with the Installation Cd.
3. Repair/reinstall.
