| 875962 | 2010-04-13 01:49:00 | Hi all, I am trying to repair my version of windows but I am unable to get the ALT-F10 to work :( I a windows 7 repair disc but I don't think my computer boots from my dvd drive. It says I need to change this so I went in to BIOS and my boot priority is 1 - Sata: ST98823AS - (S1) 2 - IDE 0 3 - IDE 1 4 - PCI BEV: Realtek Boot Agent 5 - USB HDD: 6 - USB CDROM: 7 - USB FDD: 8 - USB KEY: What do I do next? I know I am suppose to make it boot from my CD/DVD Drive but I can't see anything there that would be it? Im not very confident with touching this stuff so Any / All help greatfully accepted. Regards Katy:eek: |

| 875965 | 2010-04-13 02:12:00 | Change it to IDE 0 then IDE 1, dont forget to save the settings. See which one works.Also dont forget to press a key, when it says to press a key | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 875966 | 2010-04-13 02:14:00 | You could change the order so the sata entry is third. This should allow the DVD to boot. What make and model is the machine? |

| 875968 | 2010-04-13 03:09:00 | My Laptop is and Acer Aspire 5100. Since I swapped them around IDE 0 now has stuff beside its name, IDE 0:HL - DT - ST - DVDRAM - GSA_ T1on - (P. I got the DVD drive to work and it loaded files, ran repair. Restarted changing it back to my C: drive but still no go. I don't have a backup to run from so I tried the original windows 7 disc. Had to go back to Boot from CD it started to install and said I had started with the disc and that I had to remove it and start windows normally. Did that and of course still no joy. What can I try next? (Hammer may be plan C yet) | ollieogg (6593) | ||
