Answer» the discs that came with my xp laptop will not reboot the cd, in either way the readme's instructed me to do it
does xp have a universal reboot set up or are their different versions in different models?To boot from a CD-ROM you need to setup the BIOS so that it loads from the CD-ROM instead of the hard drive. When you start your computer, do you get anything like 'Press F10 to ENTER setup'?And KEEP in mind that if they are "ahem" copies of XP that will also cause these symptoms...yes, it is f2 though, but when i enter the setup menu and i try reboot from disk, nothing happens
and they ARENT copies, they are original disks that came with it, straight from the manufacturerWhen in setup and you change the boot order to CDRom FIRST you need to press F10 to "SAVE changes and exit"...
The machine will automatically re-boot.
