Welcome to PCHF pom!
Why would you need to boot from cd? Or is this installing XP? |

To boot from CD press F9 when your computer is starting up.
This should bring up a menu with an option "Select First Boot Device" or something along those lines. Select that and then choose CDROM I think thats right...

To change your boot settings:
Enter the bios by pressing a key (normally F2 or DEL on the post screen - the first screen that comes up after booting - it may be different depending on your bios). The look for an option called boot settings or order and select the first item, and change to your cd-rom. Then go to exit and exit saving changes and click yes. That should work. @mintedjo: that depends on the pc. |
