I recently couldn't boot up my com as it kept going to the page your com was not shut down properly etc.. safe mode, safe mode with command, normal etc..

Everytime i select ANY of those options, the com just restarts and comes back to the same menu..

so ok.. i left the com on... then SUDDENLY.. it managed to break through to windows..

so i quickly saved all my data..

just finished saving.. inserted XP disc and shut the com down..

BUT MY COM JUST GIVES THIS SUPERB FAST LOADING BAR AND IT GOES STARIGHT TO THE WINDOWS LOADING SCREEN!!! I GOT NO OPPORTUNITY TO PRESS ANY KEY TO GO TO THE FORMAT SETUP!! ARGH HELP ME!!!

btw fyi, i just changed my master drive.

Go into BIOS, set the first boot device to your CD or DVD drive.

When you first boot up, did it show a screen of asking you to press some buttons to get into BIOS?

Most of the time, the button is the Del button.
