How Do I Change the BootUp Device on my Inspiron4100?

[weeeplop]

I have a Inspiron4100 and I want to boot from a CD, however, the laptop will just go into windows without scanning the CD-ROM.

I looked in the cmos or "setup", but it had no option to switch boot up device. Does anyone know?

I've got a 5000 and it's right there plain as day.

A, HD, CDROM. WoRKS great for me.

BTW. DELL = free tech support if you can't find it. Not free hardware replacement, but free tech support. They're pretty good, but sometimes they SUCK monkey nutz.
