Setting up Windows XP x64 (trial)

OOAgent · Jan 1, 2006, 07:14 PM

i just downloaded the free trial for windows x64 and i seem to be having a problem getting the install to start. i put the iso file on a CD-R and followed the instruction it gave me in the e-mail (even tried creating a virtual drive) and when i go to the setup on the CD and click setup windows xp, it doesnt do anything. i tried restarting my comp with the disk in the drive and it doesnt seem to be recognizing it. i cant figure out what the problem is. if anyone know what im doing wrong or something i would really appreciate some help. thx in advance.
