I'm trying to reformat my computer, and admitedly this is my first time.. so I apologize in advanced if I make any stupid or obvious mistakes.
To my knowledge, I have every CD that came with the computer (Dell Dimension 4700)--and I've been trying to reformat using the Reinstallation CD.
When I put the CD in, it comes up with the installation prompt, so I know the disk is fine/not damaged/etc..
But the problem is, it wont boot from it? I changed the BIOS to boot from disk, and it tells me that the CD in there isnt one I can boot from.
Am I missing something? :\
