I have just borrowed an external cd-rom because my internal isnt working at the moment.
How do i get my pc to boot from disc using the external drive?
I am going to reinstall windows onto my hard drive so that it works properly again
Thankyou so much SANJAY for the advice before you are a genius (I hope you get time to answer this question for me)

click F2 when the computer is booting to go into the bios
then change the primary boot device to the external cd drive

Frankly if I were you I wouldn't attempt to use the external device. Instead, for a very modest amount on money, I would throw out the internal device and fit a new one. Honest. You will save yourself a lot of work & heartache.

You would have to configure your BIOS to boot from the USB device (if it's even possible with your motherboard.)
