| 491083 | 2006-10-13 09:34:00 | Go into the BIOS, change your startup sequence to boot first from your CD/DVD drive, finish the boot sequence, insert your Windows CD, reboot, select boot from CD and follow onscreen instructions. Not forgetting to backup to external media anything you want to save. |
