Booting issues.
My Windows doesn't start and it shows an error message
which it appears can be fixed by repairing windows XP. (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;823614). But, my problem is that when I insert my XP CD-ROM, the computer does not boot from my CD-ROM. Inorder to repair XP I need the computer to boot from my CD-ROM. How do I do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Booting issues.
Hi Jey,
Most newer systems have an option in the system ROM BIOS setup that will all you to set the boot sequence to boot from CD. Check the BIOS setup to ensure that the CD is set as the first boot device.

Booting issues.
When you power on your PC after the maker's logo, but before the Windows
logo, there's usually a screen that says something like: System Settings F10. The key to press to enter System Settings (BIOS) varies from system to system. It could be F1 or ESC. If you can't find that information on a boot screen: If your system came with a manual look there, or go to the web site of the maker of the system. Once in System Setup (BIOS) navigate until you find the boot order screen and make the CD drive the first device in the boot order. Then save your settings and exit. -- T.C. Pay it forward...
