You have to boot into your bios to make sure that your boot sequence includes your CD-ROM.\n\nWhen you first turn on your computer, before the screen with a list of OS's, you will have a chance to enter the BIOS or Setup.  The key sequence to invoke this should appear, but if it does not it is usually the Delete key, F2, F10, or F12.\n\nOnce in the BIOS look around for your boot sequence.  You want to make sure that CD-ROM comes before IDE-Hard drive.\n\nAfter you save and exit you should be able to boot to CD.

Sorry, but there is no easy solution to this. If your computer does not recognize the CD drive on the docking bay, then that just means the connection from your CD drive on your docking bay to your computer is not working correctly.\n\nI would try to do a hardware add from the control panel. There is a chance that you just need to do a scan on your computer to recognize the Cd drive on the docking bay. Or you might need to go to your BIOS setup from the initial reboot screen and you might have to set it up in there. Normally you hit F2 or F8 from the reboot screen and it lets you enter your system configuration BIOS setup screen. You will need to see if you can find your Drive in there from your docking bay and you might need to set it up so that it reads from the docking bay instead of trying to locate it in your internal system.\n\nIf both methods do not work, then I would just take it to a technician and he can tell you if there is a hardware problem.

Set the BIOS to to boot from the XP CD, it should detect the disk and give\na brief message, during the boot up, if you wish to boot from the CD press\nany key. Do it.\n\nOnce you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference\nasking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you\nwish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let\nsetup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.\n\nThen it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen\nwith the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation\nusing the Recovery console.\n\nThe first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to\npress enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup\nwill then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your\nversion, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or\ninstall fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there\non, follow the screens.\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm\nhttp://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm\nhttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm

Go to Bootdisk.com, download a boot disk maker program. Boot the computer with the bootdisk in the floppy drive. Use the command format c:/S  DONE!! If you are using Windows XP, you can put the CD in the drive and reboot to it providing your BIOS is set to Boot to CD drive first, if not you can easily change it. The XP Cd will give you the option to reformat.

You have to make sure that your BIOS is set in the correct order to boot to the CD-ROM drive first. Some manufacturers set the hard drive first to increase performance. Here is how you check that.\n\n1. When you first turn your computer on before Windows has begun booting press the key to get into the BIOS, usually DEL, F1, F2 or F10 depending on manufacturer.\n2. Go to the section marked Advanced Configuration, or depending on manufacturer boot or boot sequence.\n3. Once inside they can be anywhere, but look for BOOT SEQUENCE or similar.\n4. You'll want the very first one to be CD-ROM or optical drive.\n5. Make any necessary changes and save and exit.\n6. The system should reboot and it will read the CD, if your hard drive is blank it will automatically boot, but if windows is already on it it will ask you if you want to boot you can just hit spacebar or any key when it asks.\n\nSorry it can't be more specific but since no two manufacturers can choose a friggin standard it has to be really broad.\n\nHope that helps.

Well.... i didn't understand.... What do you mean.... because we normally Boot From HDD not Cd Rom....... so ofcourse it's Possible..... but i think you're having Problems....... anywayz... To Boot From Hdd... you can \n\n- Either Remove Jumper From Cd Rom ( you need to know basic hardware)\n\n- or Simply go to Bios (press del key while booting) and Set First Boot device hard disk (it's given your harddisk's name there) and to ensure........ make second boot device off!

Configure your bios to boot from the CD.  Win98 will boot from the CD so you don't really need a boot disk.  You also have the option of making another Win98 boot disk from another win98 machine and using that.
