Mutant...you'll need to go into the SETUP routine on your computer & set the relevant boot options: How you get into setup is diff depending on your make of PC but when it boots you should get a message like "To Enter SETUP, Press Del"..or something like that.... Be careful in there tho, it's pretty easy to change stuff accidently... |

actually, i checked out my bios and i cant figure out how to get it to boot from cd rom, i am pretty sure that i have to change a file. i am planning to use linux and windows. apparently at boot up you choose whether you want to load windows or linux. |

In most of the BIOS i've seen it's labelled as Boot Order & is something like "A:, C:, D:" or "D:,C:A:"... In others it mentions "Floppy, HD, CD"... LINUX is full of stuff like this and if you're not a total IT Geek, it can be very hard going getting it operating correctly... |
