I'm still having problems after trying some suggestions and reading the forums.
The computer I have does not have USB boot option in BIOS.
There was mention of 4 options. I never saw these. When I booted CD, I did see
F2 and F3 (basic and advanced options). I did see the various command line
options with F2 and F3, but nothing close to what I want. I want to wipe out
Windows XP, not do a dual boot and not run Puppy from CD all the time. I tried
selecting boot partition. didn't work. then I tried puppy pfix=ram.
Nothing different. still cannot eject the CD.
