    i recently bought an hp envy 17 2001 eg and I'd look to install Win7 Professional repartition the system. However, when I insert the dvd it doesnt recognize it and just start windows.

    Any ideas what I can do about it?
    I'd like to check bios settings, but I dont know which key I have to use..

    Press ESC upon seeing the HP logo to access the BIOS.

    Press F9 upon seeing the HP logo to quickly go to the screen where you can select the boot device for only that boot.
