If you installed Vista, you had the CD option. If it no longer shows in the
BIOS, check the cable. The drive is OS independent. Check again.

Put the XP CD in the drive and reboot. It should come up. If not, it's a
concidence, maybe your drive failed.

How did you install Vista? Did you boot the Vista DVD? or upgrade?

To remove Vista, you are going to have to boot from the XP disk.

That isn't the problem. He says that the OPTION to boot from the CD drive
doesn't appear.
