Almost everyone's BIOS is a bit different in some way, but usually, if you have a look in advanced settings or something like that, you should see a boot sequence.
More than likely, the people from which your bought the PC have disabled CD booting in the BIOS, it's pretty easy to change it back. Mostly it's just, navigate with your arror buttons then press enter on the particular option you want to change and select an option from the list displayed by pressing enter again, well that's how mine works.
I would recommend you set your boot order to:
1. Floppy
2. CDROM
3. Hard Drive
That suits almost everyone.
Hope this helps you :unsure:
great thanks! i changed it, but could only change it to cd-rom, floppy, hdd. but that is good enough, i'm now finally installing win xp!
