This is what is in it:

AMD Athlon XP2500+ 1.833 GHz 333 MHz bus Barton

TwinMOS PC3700 DDR-DIMM 256MB CL2.5 32M*8/8chip, 184-P (for DDR-PC400MHz)

Western Digital Caviar 120GB IDE 7200RPM

Sony DVD-player IDE 16x/40x - Bulk, DDU1612-10

Sony Diskettstasjon 3,5" 1,44MB MPF-920- Floppydisk Intern


I've tried setting the cd-rom as master and slave, and various settings in
BIOS. Any suggestions? I need to boot from CD so I can install Win XP...

I had the same problem. You need the XP-setup-bootdisk.

Only 4 weeks ago XP Pro installed directly onto my SN41G2, though I did have
to do a little fiddling first to remove a master/slave conflict between my
HD & DVD - but that would have had to be fixed anyway.

I set up a machine like this at the weekend. I had the same problem.
Check to ensure your first bootable device is the cd-rom. Also completely
disable the floppy drive on the front page on the bios (if you don't have a
floppy of course).

Cheers
