Hello sgrin...

You have tried to put your system specs in your profile.. thank you..

However, you forgot to check the lil box that says "allow others, etc"

In response, as to your system booting, F2 or F12 may be the ones that you need to get into your BIOS... again, need to know exactly what you have for that F key, but in there, set your boot sequence to CD>Harddrive, then be sure to press F10 to save changes and exit.

Please let us know how this goes..

Thanks for your patience
