How do I go into BIOS and do settings for boot from CD?

 

[Jerry]

Varies by motherboard manufacturer and BIOS. Usually hitting DEL works, some
require F2 or F12, read the owner's manual.

 

[David B.]

Use the magic key...

Seriously, a little info might help, like make/model of PC?

When you start the computer the first string usually tells you "How to enter
setup" down at the bottom.

When you start the computer the first string usually tells you "How to enter
setup" down at the bottom.

This reply means "Read the screen" (and perhaps use the Pause
key to prevent information scrolling up and off.) The point is that some
monitors warm up so slowly that the first info displayed may not be
visible. Remedy: turn on the monitor half a minute before turning
on the PC.

BIOS settings usually display in three to six pages of
menu selections, usually documented on screen what the
various settings are and what they do.

First screen, not string.
Stupid fingers.

Ah. OK, yes the setup thing is key here. Thanks.
