|
Answer» I have set the system bios to open from cd/rom drive but it is not doing this automatically. Can anyone tell me what the prompt is? I have set the system bios to open from cd/rom drive but it is not doing this automatically. Can anyone tell me what the prompt is? Are you trying to Start the computer using a Bootable CD? Some CDs (such as the XP DISC) present a prompt saying "Press Any key to boot to CD" that lasts a few seconds. Are you sure the disc is bootable?Yes, I created a disk to erase my hard drive and I want to open it in ms/dos to execute the program. Problem is, I am not getting a prompt to do this in ms/dos. I can open the disk when I GO through the regular start-up though.Have you made a bootable CD-ROM? Are you quite sure it is your hard drive you plan to erase? Why do you need a disk to do this? Yes. I downloaded a free software program called HDDErase and made a bootable disk. I need to erase the hard drive because the computer is being returned to the manufacturer and contains business information. Dell sent us a new computer and we need to RETURN the old but do not want anyone to retrieve the data on the computer. Did you set the boot order in BIOS so that CD-ROM is first? I did.Was the disk image supplied as an ISO, and did you burn it correctly? I think I burned it correctly however I don't know if the disk image was supplied as an ISO. How can I check this?Sorry, I noticed that you used HDDerase. Please ignore previous question. I just did a Google search on "HDDErase bootable CD" and found that many people cannot get the disk to work. Perhaps you should try another disk erase utility. I BEAT you to it! Done. Thanks for the help! |
