Go into BIOS (DEL key) and change your boot order to CD first.
Hey guys/ladies I have a big problem with a laptop I recently purchased it's a dell latitude csx 500 H. Now this laptop was suppose to be an easy project to work on seeing it had everything working, it had windows 2000 without the password so I couldn't enter it, not even with admin. Now the problem is I want to install windows XP but I cant because it needed a modular bay so I bought a cd/dvd modular bay but it still wouldn't boot up from the cd. I tried taking out the hard drive and use a usb adapter to plug it in into a desktop and install it from their but the desktop said It couldn't install because it was secure or something of that sort. I heard you need a diskette drive to install an operating system but I have ran out of money since I had to buy a new battery, a modular bay, one wireless card, one lan card, and a ram stick. So can anybody tell me any method I could use to install an operating system for this laptop I am a basic computer nerd so don't be discourage to type anything you think will work.  This is my first project and is becoming a nightmare for me because I'm trying to fix it for school so can anybody HELP ME PLEASE!!!!   :emotion-21: THANKS in advance
