So yeah, after my laptop getting corrupt and stuff...

I cant log into my user accounts, because the log in service is corrupt or something.

The problem arises here:

Im going to reformat, but how do i run the disc if i cant log into my computer?

Turn on computer open disk drive put in disk before it completely boots up.

Didn't your last laptop fall out a window?

Doesnt work, just boots to login screen.

Arent there buttons you have to press to make it boot to something?

"Boot options menu"

It has my hard drive and then the CD thing...

Do i put the OP system disc in then boot from the cd drive?

Is it turned on?

You're a genius... but it still doesnt work :c

1. Go to the boot setup and change primary boot to cd
2. Start laptop, no matter what is does
3. Put the cd in
4. Restart and it should boot from cd
5. Eat a lot of PIE!

But then what about after the OP system is finished, will it boot from disc every time i restart?

[Oasis]

Does it look like this?
No?
Then it's fine. :D

After the installation it restarts or shuts down. When it gets on again, quickly press the cd drive to get the cd out of it
As long as you don't put a bootable disc in the disk drive, you'll be fine

Chili, that's mighty complicated.

Is there any other way that'll run the cd once? Because the problem here is that once i start the reformat process, i close the laptop and let it run, preferably at night.

And when iit finishes, itll reset and do it over again, and i wont be able to stop it.

[chilmans]

You can try to enter the boot-setup again after the installation
Then set HDD as primary boot instead of cd-d

Reread the edit.

When it's finished it will restart and boot from cd again, but it will ask for a reinstallation
When you wake up, you only have to press no and when the laptop restarts, take the cd out
