You must first set the boot device priority of your computer before you can load the installation CD or DVD media. You can set the boot device priority by pressing the F2 or Del button during the startup process. You will be entering the BIOS setup of your computer. Please be careful in setting unnecessary changes because it might affect the entire computer system.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
