I want to install XP in my Laptop where there is already Linux-OS is installed. When I am trying to boot from XP-CD then my Laptop displays nothing , it seems to going sleep.
Help me out.

Is your XP CD a Microsoft or vendor CD? Or is it a burned CD?

It's burned.

That's why. You need a legitimate copy, not a pirated one.

But I used that CD in case of formating a XP-os

You may need to contact Microsoft to get a new CD.

Press Del continuously at boot until a new display appears it's the BIOS find a option that says default startup or something like this then try the CD again. Alternatively when in BIOS Screen press F5 or F7 and then F10 to save

Anyway you just as well buy Vista
