There are cases which you need to boot on your CD-ROM or in your USB Flash Disc Drive or set the boot priority/order. To do this, you need to enter the BIOS or CMOS setup.
Here are the things you need to do to successfully configure how to boot from USB flash drive or CD-ROM:
1. You must first turn on your computer and watch out for the first screen to appear (you can also do this with restarting). You will notice that there is something like Press <F2> to enter SETUP on the lower-left part of the screen. The button key varies from each manufacturer so you must look for the proper key.
Here are some common keys which I have confronted before.
F1
F2
DEL
F10
ESC
Take note that there is only a limited time for you to press this keys or else you need to restart or press CTRL + ALT + DEL to reset your computer.
2. The message entering Setup... or something like that will appear after the key is pressed properly, wait for the CMOS/BIOS Utility setup screen usually with blue background.
Note that you can only navigate here with keyboard and not mouse.
3. Go to boot settings, the view and settings varies from computers to computer so you just need to understand the settings. The boot setup should be under BOOT tab or BOOT Device Priority or Advance BIOS Features.
4. Set the device you want to boot first to the 1st order, second for the second one and so on.. If you want to boot from USB Flash Disc Drive, set the USB FDD to the first order, the same thing with CDROM.
5. After setting your desired boot configuration, go back to the main BIOS/CMOS menu and save the changes you have made and exit. This will reboot your computer.
CAUTION: Leave others unchanged or don't try to change the settings that you do not actually understand as it may cause your system to malfunction.
