I have just checked the BIOS again, but before I read this email so I did not check the date. The boot sequence still shows the CD/DVD drive as the first one. Yet when I put a bootable CD into the drive before powering up it is still ignored. It goes straight to the hard drive. Strange. Neil
You could try pressing the Pause/Break key when the BIOS screen comes up for a couple of seconds, it may be that the DVD drive just takes a while to initialise. Or maybe the DVD drive is on the way out, or the CD is not working.
Does the PC boot via USB? If so maybe making a bootable USB stick might be an option. Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
