    hi, i wan to format an acer aspire 2920. I shut down the pc and put the recovery cd in but the system still opening a windows and didnt read the CD. and i didnt saw this word "press any key to boot from CD". How do I get it to boot from the cd-rom. I went into setup to change the boot sequence to boot from cd 1st but cd isn't listed as a boot option. It has HDD, ODD, USB, PCI LAN as boot options to select from in that order.

    If your cd/dvr is usb then boot from usb, it should work.
