Default How do you set 98 SE to boot from CD?

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade to Windows XP. It would be easier
if my system could boot from the CD, where it would pick
up the XP install disk. I have upgraded my BIOS, so I
think this is possible. But how do I set it up?

Regards
M.

Watch the boot screen for the key to press to enter setup (BIOS). Once in
the BIOS, there are directions for navigating which vary from BIOS to BIOS.
Look for a Boot section and make the CDRom drive the first boot device.
Save the change and exit.
