Compaq Armada 7800 | Need Help Booting

[DT Nerual]

I have no idea how to boot the CD from the CDROM. I know that I need to get to the BIOS Screen but I also have no idea how to get to that screen.

If there is any help that anybody could offer I would love you forever.

Compaq PCs in general usually require that you press the F10 key shortly after the post. That should allow you to enter the bios and set the boot order. You may have to press the F10 a few times to ensure it happens at the right moment.

If your system will boot off of a floppy, you can dsee the following link: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQ#Q:_My_computer_won.27t_boot_from_C D._What_should_I_do.3F
Look for the Smart Boot Manager and insatll it to a floppy. Follow the directions on the site. When used properly, it should allow you to select a boot device.
