PC will not boot up from CD!

I recently installed MS Vista again.  I first installed it about a year ago this time only to find hardly anything would work with my machine.  I figured after a year all the drivers and everything I needed would be out there.  Well, I should have checked before I actually tried installing Vista again.  Looks like my motherboard is just too old and my graphics card just isn't going to cut it even though it should.

 So I throw the XP Cd in and plan to rollback.  Everytime the "To boot from CD press any key.."  comes up I press every key but it still keeps booting up to Vista, wtf!

I think my problem is I am not pressing the "any" key, jk, lol.

Well turns out it was my USB keyboard wasn't working until after the OS boot up.  I had to dust off a PS/2 keyboard just to get XP back.  I guess that was all I had the last time I went through all this..  Oh yeah, I had a wireless keyboard last time and I know that was the problem before.  I should have remembered.  Looks like I need to document this for next time.
