How do I change the Boot to USB from it being on CD?

We are reformatting our laptop and have got a few problems. We have got to the stage where we have changed the Boot to CD, but our CD drive doesn't work properly and keeps cutting off on us so we can't fully reformat it without it cancelling on us. The XP disk is fine and we would be able to finish the reformat if the CD drive would work!



However, we've been told to do it using an USB, which we want to try. But, we don't know how to change the Boot drive to USB. We managed to change it to CD, but now we've done that different screens come up at the beginning of setup than before and it automatically starts reformatting from the disk in. Was wondering whether anyone could help us! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!How do I change the Boot to USB from it being on CD?
It is difficult to give an exact answer without knowing a little more about your computer system.



In general, this option is available on newer computers (the mainboard must support it, and many newer ones do). A simple way to find out would be to go into the computer's BIOS while booting up. When you first turn on your computer, look for some text on the screen that says something like ';Press F11 or Delete to enter setup';. It is different for various computer systems. If you can't see any text, you'll just have to press the usual suspects when you see the first ';splash'; screen. I recommend Delete, F11, and F12. If it works, you'll be in the BIOS setup. You'll have to search around for the ';boot order'; or ';boot sequence'; option. If your computer supports it, you'll see USB as an option. Just move it before the CD or optical drive option.



Note: Changing settings in the BIOS can be very detrimental to the health of your computer. Do not mess with any settings that you do not understand.How do I change the Boot to USB from it being on CD?

How can I change my Xbox 360 resolution if I can't see the screen?

My console was previously hooked up to a high definition TV, but I've moved it over to an SD set. For some reason, though, the console is stuck in 1080i, so I can't see anything when I boot it up. I know it's working because I can hear the menu sounds and the startup sound, but since I can't see anything, I can't change the resolution to SD. Is there a way to reset this without being able to see the menus?How can I change my Xbox 360 resolution if I can't see the screen?
You need to change the selector on the video cables to TV even if you are using the component plugs (red, blue, green) (white, red). If you still don't get a picture then start your xbox and hold in the Y and Right Trigger till the dash comes up and everything will reset. When the xbox restarts it will be set at it's default resolution. More than likely just selecting TV on the av cables will fix your problem though.



You can check out this video if you don't understand when to hold Y and the Right Trigger.

Let me know if you have any other questions. You can contact me via my yahoo answers profile.How can I change my Xbox 360 resolution if I can't see the screen?
On the AV cord, there is a button to switch from HD %26gt; TV, press the button down and your screen will not be black, common mistake, now you know how to fix it :)
Turn on the xbox, wait like 15-20 seconds, press the home button on the controller, go right twice, go down 3 times, press A 4 times but not fast. If you're currently on 1080i, press up then A for 720p, up twice then A for 480p, or down then A for 1080p.

????vista os x them questions?

i wantd to know from people with experience with vista os x.i was wondering if i should download it and if it was safe to do so also if it will affect my computer later on or somethng. here is whear you can download it http://www.vistaosx.net/ so should i get it or no. also i heard i changes your boot screen and log in screen is this true. and if so should i uninstall these programs im running log on studio vista windows fences. so please tell me more about it if its safe and how install and uninstall it thank you.????vista os x them questions?
I have used this program, and it is completely safe! It DOES NOT change your boot screen, unfortunately. It WILL change in the LOG IN screen to a starry, Mac(ish) wallpaper. It changes icons as well. If you need to uninstall it, it completely uninstalls as long as you follow the uninstall instructions on the website. Make sure that you DO NOT install this on Windows 7 or anything other than Vista, because it will screw up the computer because it was not meant for those Operating Systems. The install instructions are on the website and so are the uninstall instructions. The install is very easy, it's just like a normal installer and it is very easy to configure and install. Good luck!

PLZ HELP!!!How to do system restore with Linux(ubuntu)?
The linux cd cannot restore windows. You will have to use the windows cd to do a repair install and then use the ubuntu cd to install ubuntu.

Good luckHow to do system restore with Linux(ubuntu)?
You can't do a Windows System Restore with a Linux CD, you have to be running Windows to do it. (And that just restores the registry.) The first thing you have to try is a Windows Repair (with the Repair disk). If that doesn't work (or if you don't have the Repair disk), do a Windows upgrade with the Windows install disk. (If you don't have any Windows disks, there's not much you can do.)
Ok, all you need is a windows bootdisk, you damaged your mbr by playing with your boot splash. You can download one from bootdisk.com, get a windows 98se, or if you have the windows cd boot to that and select repair console, then run fixmbr and fixboot.

If you use a boot disk (floppy), run fdisk /mbr, that will repair your master boot record (mbr).

Can how I change the monitor setting on Windows 98SE when I can't see the screen?

I had Windows 98SE installed on an old Gateway system. I was using a 12 inch old SVGA monitor on it after I installed Windows 98SE and it worked fine. I connected a Viewsonic 21 inch monitor and on boot it detected the new hardware and looked fine with that 21 inch monitor. I no longer have that monitor,but when I connected the old 12 inch SVGA monitor the screen display is so messed up I can't even make out what is going on to change the settings. I can boot from floppy disk to access drive C, but I don't know what to do to fix this. I really don't want to restore Windows. I'm looking for step by step instructions on how to fix this monitor issue so I can get the 12 inch monitor working again. Thanks!Can how I change the monitor setting on Windows 98SE when I can't see the screen?
Its easy. No need to restore Windows! When boot press shift+f5 (safe mode). Windows boots with 640x480 resolution. Then change to preferred resolution.Can how I change the monitor setting on Windows 98SE when I can't see the screen?
The monitor or display of a computer is the primary user interface. Monitor problems are some of the most common computer problems since the voltages inside a monitor can be as high as 10 KV. Many of the problems can be fixed yourself by simply changing the settings. Detailed instructions available at http://fixit.in/monitor.html
