Is this the "Legacy Free" model?

Try ESC then F1, and see if that gets you in there. The Legacy Free versions havee no BIOS options to change. All settings and resources must be assigned by the OS. The only bios access is through an applet that will only run in Windows XP. To boot from the CD try this though:

1. Power on
2. Press F12
3. With the right arrow key choose CD
4. Enter

Let me know if this doesn't help.

Can you help with this problem?
