yeah the bois is set up right. If your cd is correct, on boot up it should detect the cd is a bootbale one and ask you to press any key if you want to boot of it. if you dont press any key it will carry on and boot up off your harddisk. is it trying to boot off of cd or just going straight by?? | |
