    Hey guys,

    I'm not too sure if anyone here has this model of the Compaq Presario but it won't let me boot from CD. After I click F1 it comes up as follows:

    Main Advanced Power Boot Exit

    After I click Boot it comes up as follows:

    Boot-Time Diagnostic Screen Disabled
    Boot Device Priority - After I click Boot Device Priority it comes up with...

    1st Boot Device CD-ROM
    2nd Boot Device CD-ROM
    3rd Boot Device Hard-drive
    4th Boot Device CD-ROM

    When I change everything to CD-ROM above, it comes up with 'Rom disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter'. But that does nothing.

    HELP!
