Re: Boot from CD

You have to set your CD drive as a boot device in your BIOS, otherwise it
gets ignored.

Look in your computer manual on how to access the BIOS and how to change the
setting.

I am using MS Tablet PC and Norton Save and Restore. I want to restore my
computer using the Norton Save and Restore CD. In order to do that, I
have to boot my computer from the Norton Save and Restore CD. However
anytime I start my computer, it never lets me to start my computer with
the CD.

Can anyone show me how to boot my computer from a CD?

Thanks
