 How to Change Boot Order of BIOS: 


Most important things about bios setup that you have to know is "BOOT"

• BOOT is the windows load function from where your Computer's Windows runs.
• During Start of Computer it searches the "Boot Devices" to load.
• Your Boot Device is your HDD. ( Specifically: C:\ Drive, where windows is installed )
• IF you want to install new OS than you need a "Bootable CD/ DVD" 
• Remember: If computer finds a "Boot Option", It will never search for another.

 Why your computer can't find your BOOT CD / DVD ?

• It is because your Boot Devices is Set to "HDD," then your computer will never search for other boot option. ( When your Boot Fails only you will get a message: "Boot Device not detected")
• Check your CD / DVD cable to make sure it is plugged in properly with mother board.
• If every thing is OK then go for the next step....

 Changing BOOT order : 

• To change your BOOT order enter to BIOS / CMOS setup. ( Read above how to do this )
