Forget about what you have and what you don't have installed under Window$. Why did you say you set the CD drive as the secondary slave?
In order to boot, the only setting in BIOS that must be modified is the boot order so that the CD comes before the HD.

I have used the cd 3 times and now it will not boot

What have you altered in BIOS after the 3 boots?

I have not touched the bios,when I finish with cd I put the bios to default.

What type of CD are you using? Original or your own remastered version?
