How to go to Bio Screen?
What do u mean before boot to windows? Exactly when is this?
Oh btw, my com has a stupid problem (one reason i need to reformat). During boot up, it will go to this screen saying "One of your disks need to be checked for consistency. Enter any key now to skip diskscheck..." Actually i had let it check before but it still gets into this. So what do i need to do at this stage in order to reformat?
i) Press CD-rom eject button
ii) Put in ur XP installation CD,
important :Shiny surface at bottom.
iii) Press CD-rom eject button again. U see and hear a sound and ur CD-rom tray closes
iii) Next try to find reset button on PC and press it once. Once u see some numbers running on the screen.
Hit "DEL" button to get into bios.
iv) Inside bios, use ur cursor keys to navigate through the menu.
Look for something call "Boot priority"
Set to boot to : "CD-rom, C:" something like that...
To change the setting, Press "Page up" or "Page Down"
2) Press F10
Choose "Save Changes and Exit" using cursor key
3) Wait for PC auto reboot from ur XP installation CD
4) U see a blue screen... Nope its not the blue screen of death..
Follow through the instructions.
5) Since you are reformatting.... delete all the partitions you see in setup.
6) Then follow thru again.
God bless with the installation :angel:
