I have built a cd and it's working fine, but I would like to get the message "press any key to boot from cd" when the computer boots. Then I can start the installation an walk away, the cd won't autoboot when XP restarts.
Am I missing something here or is this not possible?

You can also set a timeout for a default menu item that boots from the HD. I have my DVD created so I can start an unattended install of Windows and walk away. When the system reboots it boots from the DVD but after 30 seconds it times out and runs "boot 80" to boot from the HD.

Thanks for the answers.
BartPE has a downloadable fix for this, hope EasyBoot can provide the same...
In the meantime I will try the solution provided by Hannes, that would be the next best thing...  :)
