Solve : Bios Problems, cant boot from a cd?

Answer»

Hi I've been unable to boot from a cd in order to restore windows XP SP2, I have a compaq presario and i have noticed that in the bios settings/ boot order there used to be 3 options to set the order of booting, floppy, cd rom, harddisk, but the cd rom had dissappeared and i don't know what caused it. I have also found that when i remove the hard DRIVE and CHECK the bios again the cd rom option re-appears. I don't know if this information can assist you all in HELPING me. Please help me ThanksJumper settings are most likely not properly configured.What has happened prior to this? Any monkeying about INSIDE the case for any reason? Are the devices SEEN in the BIOS correctly, apart from boot order? How old is the machine?Check in Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and see how the CD drive is listed.
Is there a yellow question mark next to it ? ?
If so right clik select remove and re-boot...XP will automatically re-install it.
