Can anyone tell me how to set my computer up to boot off of the CD ROM?
I've been told that once you boot up your computer....hit the space bar and
it will boot off of the CD. I've tried that...but it doesn't appear to work

William Replied: You have to go-into your BIOS at boot-up (usually done by
holding down the "Delete" key during boot) Once in the BIOS you have to set
your boot-options by enabling your PC to boot from the CD.....It's in the
BIOS !
