Change boot order bios - Systemax SYX Crossfire X58 Gamer Intel Core i7930 28 GHz genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit 12GB (SYX1040) PC Desktop

you usually dont have to change the boot order to boot from a cd. the bios should check the cd rom before booting from the hdd. However, if that isnt the case, you can always change the boot order.

go to the bios settings while u turn your laptop on. (It should be "esc" for HP. a message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen indicating the key. if not, try esc, f10, f11, f12. either one of them should work).

go to the boot order settings (May have a different name- boot settings/ boot priority settings/ advance boot options etc.).

so that meant you changed it , then clicked save
, then powered off ,then back on then went back to the same place in bios and it is wrong , now, and you are confused
well well YOUR COIN CELL< CMOS RTC battery is dead.
end saga.
but if above was saved, ok, 2nd look and it did not boot in that order and you for got to hit the say the huge space bar
at boot time , over and over the CD or DVD can not not ever boot due to the laws of EL Torito (intel/MS and HP rules)

on my server here, it shows, hit a key to boot to DVD
or to stick usb.. clear as day but other HP PC may not prompt you and sure that is bad play.


to save the BIOS you must use the right key to do that
it tells you what to do. exiting BIOS.
but if the Battery dies, the NVRAM is now dead and can not store BIOS settings nor the the time of day (RTC)

facts. all.

Go to boot and select the boot order.Use F4 or F5 to change.
First boot device: Cd/dvd drive
Second: the harddrive.
Leave the bios and save the settings.

Place your windows cd in the drive and reboot.
Now you can install windows again.

Good luck

Why can't you change the bios setup to change the boot order or boot sequence?

Also you can change the boot order or boot sequence temporarily by just rebooting the laptop then watch the screen for which key it says to hit to change the boot sequence or boot order, then hit that key when you see the message.

Usually it's preset to HDD/CD/Network. You can change the order in the system setup.

you can try removing and replacing the battery on the motherboard. If that does not work, you will have to look for the reset jumper on the board.

To change the boot order of devices.
Go to the BIOS configuration and under one of the sections there will be a boot up section where you can change the order of boot up devices.

Hi,
You must change the boot sequence from your BIOS.
To do this, when your computer starts press F1 or F2 until you enter the bios setup menu. Usually on Toshiba is F1 or Esc key.
Now that you are in the BIOS, you must locate the boot order section. Just go through every page until you see something like Boot Device, Boot Order, Boot Management, Boot Sequence, etc. (its different for each computer)
There, change the boot order to move the Hard Disk or DVD ROM in the top two items in the list.
Save your settings and exit the BIOS.
Your computer will restart and it should boot up normally.

hi
Why cannot you change the boot order? you use the page up and page down keys

when the pc in post usually on dells bios there is a boot menu option it is usually f12
if you don't know what your doing in the bios it is not a good place to test your skills after pressing F12 just choose cd rom for boot
