1.	Solve : How to disable boot from Cd???
Answer» Hey guys i had some problems with my computer.. So here's the details I enter BIOS mode and MADE the boot method to cd/dvd. I attempt to install windows xp, it fails says the COMP is missing drivers Now, i need to somehow enter BIOS mode again while bypassing the boot from cd? When i turn on the comp, it immediately boots the cd and prevents me from entering BIOS I take out the cd, and YET the comp asks for me to insert a bootable cd. So is there anyway to enter BIOS, by bypassing boot from cd?I'm not sure what the default settings are for your bios, but removing the cmos battery (shinny round thing) from the motherboard for a minute or so, and then reinstalling it, may just put you back where you where before you set the boot order to CD/DVD (first) Unplug the computer first, and touch and unpainted piece of metal inside your computer to discharge possible static, before TAKING the battery out.. Quote I attempt to install windows xp, it fails says the comp is missing drivers Do you have a SATA hard drive? If so you will need to install sata drivers during windows setup.hm.. good point. I've never installed XP onto a SATA drive myself, so that didn't cross my mind Come to think of it, I'm doing an XP installation tomorrow, onto a sata drive. I'm glad I saw this threadVery early on in the XP setup at the bottom of the screen it will say "Press F6 to install additional drivers"... At this point put in the floppy/CD with the MBoard drivers and the SATA drivers will be detected and installed...
