Don't you find it annoying though on how many machines are now being made with no d drive even fitted! Brian

You might be able to set it permanently. It would still boot from the hard drive in the absence of a bootable CD.

Rather though that might be the case.
Might be a case of having a friendly sightling walk me through the process and write down the correct keystrokes as we go.
Thanks

Have a Windows 10 pro 64 bit system.
Have latest NVDA.
When I attempt to boot from CD the system just goes in to windows.
My motherboard is Asus B150M-A D.
Is there something I must do at bootup which will permit me to start the cd?

So what you want to do is make the machine look at the dvd drive before it boots from the hard drive. Different motherboareds and bios chips do this in different ways. In some you need to held down certain keys when you switch on on others it forces a menu when you do this and yet again you have to enter the bios and change the actual boot order.

https://www.google.co.nz/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=KEtxWYisM5Lr8wfvkre4Bw#q=Asus+B150M-A+D+drivers If you can find maybe in asus global your board maybe you need a bios update. Or a sightling to change boot order. One thing, have you opened your cd drive put the disk in, closed the drive, turned off the system then held downc which is the universal cd rom access key on most if not all systems then turned on your system? I havn't seen a system that hasn't accepted the c command to access a disk. On 21/07/2017 10:57 a.m., Andrea Sherry wrote:
