Can't boot from my DVD drive
I have an old dell dimension 2400 that i hardly use but i want to boot from the dvd-rw/reader drive i recently put in there. But i only have the option to boot from my cd-rom drive in the bios setup. How do i boot from the dvd in the dvd drive!!

You might just need to change the jumpers since if they're both on the secondary IDE then swapping them over the connectors won't change anythingerupt wrote:Yeah that's what i was thinking that way it'll default to my dvd-rom drive rather than my cd-rom drive. You're probably right the motherboard might not support both as bootable devices although theoretically it should try both. I'll see what happens.
Anyways, I'm off to bed!
