Dell Inspiron 9400 wont boot from cd
Hi all,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, can be moved if necessary.
Having trouble getting my brothers laptop to boot from cd, upgrading it from XP to WIN 7. I have changed the BIOS settings to boot from cd and pressed f12 and clicked on boot from cd in that menu, but no joy. A blank screen with _ flashing comes up the disk spins for a second but then it just goes straight to XP.
The CD is fine as I did a fresh reinstall on my own computer a couple of days ago.
If anyone has any ideas what I'm doing wrong or not doing it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
