T TonnyT Posts: 22 +0 Jan 14, 2011 #30 Windows Xp media center edition 2005 That's what the sticker on the computer says
Broni Posts: 56,041 +516 Jan 14, 2011 #31 No, not a sticker. There is nothing like Dell, HP, Compaq, or such name?
T TonnyT Posts: 22 +0 Jan 17, 2011 #34 I'm on a strange screen now, the top says : Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility
Broni Posts: 56,041 +516 Jan 17, 2011 #35 That's your BIOS. Now, you have to look around and find "boot order".
T TonnyT Posts: 22 +0 Jan 17, 2011 #36 I didn't find "boot order" but i did find : Boot-time diagnostic screen and Boot Device Priority
Broni Posts: 56,041 +516 Jan 17, 2011 #37 Boot Device Priority That's it. Make sure, CD drive is listed first. If not, adjust "boot priority", so it is.

Broni Posts: 56,041 +516 Jan 17, 2011 #41 I don't know about all type of BIOS settings, as they differ. You have to play around a little. Try to select "CD-ROM Boot Priority" and see what options you have there.

Broni Posts: 56,041 +516 Jan 17, 2011 #43 It must be some option (possibly listed in right pane) to move a particular device, up, or down on the boot order list. As I said, I can't know all BIOSes. You have to look around....
