Hi KC Wolf,

Did you remember to change the boot order in the BIOS before trying to boot from disk or CD?

Hi KC Wolf,

You normally enter the BIOS soon after you initially start the computer. On my HP, I have to press [F1] as soon as the HP logo
comes up on the screen. It sounds like the boot sector on you hard disk is corrupted. I would check with the manufacturer on how
to get into the BIOS so that you can do a repair install from the CD.
