Default How do I change the boot order on the Presario 5150?

Hello.. I am planning to install WinXP so I upgraded the BIOS to the
latest that I could find (11/99, I think) and when I go to the BIOS
setup (F12) there is no boot menu that I can find and of course it
wont' boot from the CD. Is there another way to get to the boot
menu???

Thanks!

No. Well, unless you can find a generic or manufacturer supplied appropriate
BIOS flash that will give you the selection. But you risk killing your board
if you use any other than a Compaq supplied BIOS flash.
