How to Reboot My PC From Disc

Computers are a great thing, but when they are operating improperly, you can get very perturbed. In order to fix an application or re-install your operating system, you need to boot your computer from the operating system disc.

Instructions

1. Turn on your PC. Pay close attention to the first start-up screens for the word BIOS and the key listed next to it. You may need to restart your computer several times to see which keyboard key allows entry into your computer's BIOS screen. If you are having trouble catching what the key is, the most standard keys used to enter a BIOS screen is F2 or Control + Alt + Esc. If neither of these gets you to the BIOS screen, read your computer's owner manual or contact the manufacturer to find out the keys to press to enter the BIOS screen. Once you learn which key it is, insert the disc you want to boot from into the CD-ROM. Restart your computer and start tapping the keys required to enter the BIOS screen.

2. Press "Delete" to run setup.

3. Tap the arrow key until you have "Boot" highlighted. Press "Enter."

4. Tap the arrow key down until you have the "1st Boot Device" highlighted. Press "Enter."

5. Tap the arrow key right until "CD-ROM" is selected as the "1st Boot Device." Press "Enter."

6. Tap the arrow keys up to the "Exit" tab. Press "Enter." Press "Esc." Then allow your computer to boot from the disc you put in the CD-ROM.
