If it says at bootup that F12 is your BIOS Boot menu, then repeatedly and firmly tap that key to boot the DVD.
Otherwise follow these steps: How to Boot your Computer from a Bootable CD or DVD
SUCCESS!!!! it was F12 afterall. after i completed the reformat and did the clean windows 7 install, THEN i saw the post about F12. oh well. thank you all for your help in this. each one of you helped me go in the right direction. Thanks again!
i still don't know what the heck BIOS is. what does it stand for anyway?
