I bought a brand new computer system early this yr..its about 4 months old. I had to do back up files cause there wasnt any with the system..

Now i would like to reformat and when I go into Bios...once we restart by pushing the Delete button. It brings me to a system that says the following
Product information
Standard CMOS Feature
Advance Bios and So forth..

If I press the Advanced Bios it brings me to CPU Features and Hard Disk Boot Priority
Virus Warning
First Boot Drive..

Eventhough i get to those places I do not see anywhere that I can choose boot from the Cd Rom. It says removable disk and NVIDIA Boot Agent and stuff like that

So I'm lost ..when it said to go into bios..with holding down the delete button.. I dont get an option to start with CD..

What am I doing wrong.. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!..lol Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

Go online and get the manual if you don't have it and look for setting boot order or boot device.

Sometimes you can press a key at boot to select boot device.
