I am completely unable to boot my compaq presario from the cd rom drive. I have gone into BIOS and none of the cd drives are listed for the boot order. However, I know that it is seeing them because i have just used a bootable version of DOS and it could see the files on CD's. For some reason the BIOS will not let me choose to boot from them. I currently have no operating system installed so I HAVE to be able to boot from the CD drive to get a new operating system loaded. ?????????????????? what do I do????

Jump to PostGiving us the exact model # of the Presario and its BIOS make/version/revision would help.
Jump to PostUm... bummer. :(
It sounds like you'd recognize the boot order option in the BIOS if you saw it, and without knowing the BIOS version I really don't know what else to suggest at the moment... :-|
