Re: startup setting; changing boot sequence


I have an old Dell Dimension XPS T450 running on Windows XP. I'm trying
to change the boot sequence so I can boot from a floppy disk to run
Windows Memory Diagnostic. I don't see any information in my manual on
how to do it. Can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks

When you first start the computer, there should be a prompt that gives
you the keypress to enter the BIOS setup. Some computers also give you
a second keypress for a temporary change in the boot order. You'll
have
to examine your computer for the keypress(es) or consult the
documentation that came with your Sony.
