If you can get access to an alternate cdrom....and see if the xp cd is read on it...that'd remove one doubt.
If you then tried the cdrom in your system...that'd remove a second doubt.
It's gotta be one or the other....
Does the BIOS read the CDRom's brand/model correctly?

I started a pertinant reply after post 19. But I got distracted {stupid job!} and didn't hit submit until post 30.
By that point it had no relevence . . . thus the piss-poor editing.
