Does your BIOS support boot from CD? Is it set to boot from CD? If yes to both, try CD in a known good PC (just read CD), if that's ok, you may have a duff CD drive.

The HD is formatted as NTFS, and it does support booting from CD, but at the moment its just not liking it.

I have had some Major troubles every time I upgrade. Seems to me that XP pro hates component changes and causes Boot failures. First time I noticed it was when I changed the Motherboard.

I've not made any hardware changes to this PC for roughly a year, accept for a new PSU bought last month. Things started to go pear shaped about a month ago when it kept randomly shutting down, so I thought it might have been the PSU as it was making some pretty bad nosies prior to shutting down. The new PSU did seem to solve the problem for about a week or so.
