fattymcbluff Posted March 10, 2006 CID Share Posted March 10, 2006 do you have your computer to boot to your cd drive first? if so then you should format the drive and then install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted March 10, 2006 CID Share Posted March 10, 2006 yeah.. you need to change to boot order.. when the computer first turns on look in the upper right.. i know that dell if you hit f12 when the system is loading you can select a temp boot device.
