Problem: Cannot Boot To CD

[dudeparechong]

---

Hi! Pwede muask og tips/help re reformatting? Im trying to reformat a hard disk drive kay naa syay deep freeze na dili matangtang. I have a win xp pro cd, pero dili mo-boot to cd ang pc. Ive tried f8 pero inig "press any key to boot to cd," murag dili man murespond ang keyboard kay musulod gihapon sa windows. I've also tried changing the boot sequence to boot to cd, mao gihapon, even disabling all other bootable devices except cdrom and also setting bios to defaults. I know the cd drive is working kay ma-run nako ang xp disc within windows. Maka-boot to cd man sad ko on another pc. Is there anything else I can do to reformat the hard drive?

Salamat!

Sa bios palang e disable ang boot sa HD only CD-Rom, Then inig boot gani wala gihapon, balik.balika lang basin ang boot surface sa disk nimo hugaw like daghan lama.lama or garas mao di maka sulod dayon ang bootable surface, limpyohi lang ang disk or try lain disk nga limpyo.

sulayi daw og ilis imoha ide or sata cable kung onsa may gigamit nmo nga cable. sa bios sad sulod did2 sa secondary master nya ipa detect imoha cdrom nga naa did2 ang cd sulod sa rom nmo.

This is the answer and the only thing you need to do. If your "quick fingers" does not work, then this is the option.

Salamat sa mga responses.
Okay, here's an update. since wala jud mi-boot to cd using the pc in question (wala jud nako nafigure out ngano dili muboot to cd!!) So what I did was I used my pc to reformat the hard drive, since makaboot man akong sytem sa cd. nareformat jud nako ang hdd, nainstall ang xp pro, testing-tesing gamay (nakabantay kog question marks sa device manager: ethernet, video, audio controllers), murag ok na man bisag dako ang icons and font. kulangan lang siguro og chipset, and video drivers.
PERO... inig balik nako ang hdd sa pc in question, wala na musulod sa windows. muabot mi sa options to start windows normally, safe mode, safe mode with networking blah blah pero dili gihapon musulod sa windows. black screen ra. so as we speak, nagreformat na sad ko, pero using the pc in question, because oddly, maboot na to nako to cd.
will keep you all updated sa unsay mahitabo. akong pangutana karon is ngano kaha dili na musulod sa windows after successfully reformatting and reinstalling windows through my pc?? unsay possible causes ana? og, ngano kaha dili ko sya maboot to cd ang katong pc before reformatting the hdd? possible ba kaha medyo loose and cables and stuff? magrun man ang cd within windows. Sensya na, taas taas akong post. im new with computers, and i'm learning as I go along.

@JOal
yes, i read something about deleting deep freeze using another computer. nahadlok ra ko og suway. murag complicated kaayo, og wala jud ko kabalo unsaon. the owner preferred to reformat na lang anyway kay ganahan sya mag "start fresh."
