CD-Rom Boot Disabled
Hi,
I have a Compaq Armada 1540DM computer, running NT Terminal Server and Windows ME on the same drive. My problem was when I first got the laptop, it used to be able to boot from a cd. Then, here's me being stupid, I downloaded an old BIOS update and replaced a new BIOS update with an old one (I don't know what I was thinking). Now it won't boot off a cd which is causing me problems because I wan't to install Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PC's on this laptop. Is there some setting I can change or something to make this work????. ~Mitch |

CD-Rom Boot Disabled
Guys....
Thanks for all your help. I found an article on the Compaq forums, and it redirected me to a flash update for the BIOS. I downloaded it, installed it, and it updated my BIOS to 1999. My cd-rom boot re- enabled.....Thanks, Mitch~~ |
