BOOT SEQUENCE (how to change boot sequence)

Hi all i am new to this stuff.I have been told to change my boot
sequence from looking in A drive at bootup to my CDROM so i will be
able to boot from my CD ROM..I had a look at my setup in the bios and
what i see is this. A,C which make my machine look in A and
then C. My question is how do i change it to look in the CDROM, C, A
any help please. TIA

Use the Page Up/Page Down keys.

It'll be in your BIOS settings. Most BIOS versions can be accessed by
hitting/holding down the delete key on rebooting

She is already in her BIOS, that's why she said she can see the sequence as A,C

 

Most BIOS's have a help panel at either the bottom, or the left of the
screen. This should prompt you as to which keys to use to change the
selection. I have encountered the following over the years...

<Page Up / Down>
(+ and -)
(+ and _)
(=and-)
(<enter key> and submenu)
(some combinations of the arrow keys)

Have a try, and if you get confused, just reset the machine (via the reset
button) - it will go back to it's original settings if you haven't saved
anything)

in which case you are right. Some BIOS setup progs also let you change
the setting by hitting the right arrow key, then up and down. It'll be
one of the two.

You could try telling the OP instead of me.

 

<$excuse: Yours was the first to point out that she'd already accessed the
BIOS {something I'd missed in my haste, as well}>
Therefore:
I could, but that would mean being slightly more sober than I am now. And
neither of us want that -- do we.
Thirdly, I've just subscribed to this froup this evening, so you can expect
me to disappear in about 2 hours

{of course if I remain, I'll attempt to post in the correct order - {baring
obvious OE foobar's})

Sorry,

Whereas, the arrow-keys are actually (usually) used, to navigate from one
item to another, on a page in BIOS.

 

Use the [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys. You should be
looking to change it to 'CD, A, C' or 'A, CD, C'.

 

Thanks mike will give it a try.

 

You're welcome.
