    I have had my computer for about a week now. Up until today it was running perfect. For some reason, windows vista won't load. There is some error with it... I tried to use the Cd included with my computer to boot from the cd, but it doesn't boot from the cd. Help!

    You need to set it up from BIOS to boot from CD.


    Oh...make sure the disc is the right one, otherwise it will not boot.

    I changed the order of bootable devices to read cd/dvd drive first.... Still no luck. And I'm pretty sure its the right disk. Its the Windows recovery one.

    Are pushing a key when it says to do that?

    Nope, I'm not pushing anything. Should I be?

    Of course. You need to have a message saying press any key to boot from CD or DVD. I usually tap space. I you don't it will not boot.

    Weird. That happens when :

    1. The option in BIOS is not okay. But you already did that.
    2. The DISC is not bootable.
    3. The optical unit has a problem.
