Instead of being rude about it, why not answer his question?

The BIOS is sort of tricky to get into. What you may want to do is find
your manufacturers website and search the FAQ on their site. Sometimes

they
have the info there. If you cannot find it, the easiest way to do this is

to
reboot your computer. Typically somewhere in the corners have the key you
will need to hit in order to get into the BIOS setup. It is more then

likely
going to be F1, F2, or Delete. When you see your manufacturers name show

up,
press the key and you should enter the setup of the machine. You are

trying
to locate the Boot Order/Boot Sequence. The default on this should be set

to
Hard Drive first. You will want to alter that to CD-ROM first. After

that,
drop in your CD, reboot and follow the rest of their walk through.

Judging by your posts, it appears that this book is over your head.

I have a suggestion for you, instead of posting basic questions all

over
Usenet: Buy an introductory level book on Windows XP. Here's one

that's
reliable and straightforward:

"Microsoft® Windows XP Plain & Simple, Second Edition"
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/7484.asp

## I've about had it with books that don't cover the problems and
questions
that come up. I already have the WindowsXP for Dummies book and still

we
can't find all the answers to our questions. If they were in the
helpfiles
and book I wouldn't be here asking.

And here's the most important advice you can have right now:

"Protect
Your
PC"
www.microsoft.com/protect

## It is protected by:

Spybot
Adware
Norton AV & WinDr.
StartupInspector
SpywareBlaster
BHODeamon
CodeStuffStarter
