Hi all

Good morning if it is morn & Good evening if it is evening

I want to boot from Knoppix std bootable CD but I didnt find a way to do that ..

I find a silution in dell support but it didnt help me:

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kb/en/document?dn=TT1032262#step1

Note that I am using DELL dimension 4700
[b]
Dell Dimension XPS Gen 3, XPS Gen 4, 4700, 4700c, or 8400 Series Systems
[/b]

NOTE:The following steps will set your BIOS to boot from the CD drive at every reboot. The changes will be permanent unless they are reversed or the BIOS is set to default settings.
Insert a bootable CD in the CD drive.

Restart the system.
The Dell logo screen appears.

Press the key to enter the System Setup.

Press the key on your keyboard to highlight Boot Sequence.

Press the key to display the available boot devices.

Press the key or the key to highlight IDE CD-ROM Device.

Press the key or the key on the keyboard to move IDE CD-ROM Device to the top of the list.

Press the key.

Press the key to exit Setup.

Press the key to select Save/Exit.

Press the key.
Your system attempts to boot to the CD that is inserted in the CD drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is with step 6

I can't see as what was written there, what I have is ---I dont remember what's here----- or USB CD-ROM Device

can any one help me doing that?

Thanks in advanced for help
