Reinstalling Windows XP Home

[Guest]

Help, I'm confused. I am trying to reinstall my XP home and when I go to the
set up menu when rebooting I cant seem to find the cd-rom drive. I cant'
figure out how I can reboot from the cd. I need to reboot from the cd in
order to do the reinstallation. Any help would be grateful.

You must go into the "setup" configuration for the BIOS and change the
boot order of your drives. Set the CD ROM drive as the first choice
and you will be off and running.


Thanks

Open the BIOS,advanced,set to boot to cd-rom (1st boot device or similiar),
once it trys to start up,you should get "press any key to boot to cd".
