Changing boot options within windows

Aerozord · 08-12-2010, 08:32 AM

As you probably know I am reformatting my harddrive, but ran into a problem I have no clue how to solve. For whatever reason my computer is quick-booting and I'm never given the option to enter bios. to install windows I need to boot from CD. I tried hitting F10 and F2 between button power button press and windows starting and all it does is leave the screen propetually black.

edit: what I get when I hit power is a black screen, then OS is on. No logo, no windows loading screen. Just black and then straight to desktop
