Need help reinstalling windows 7 (computer won't boot from disk)?
I have an official windows 7 reinstall disk. I went to my bios and navigated to the boot section and set the first boot device to CD-ROM Group. My options were: CD-ROM Group, HDD Group, Floppy Group, Network Boot Group.
After I set CD-ROM to the first boot device I DID save and exit, I even double checked to make sure. My computer reset and no message came up for starting the boot from cd.
What am I doing wrong? The cd drive works fine.. I just can't boot my computer from a disk.
Lastly here is my computer if it helps: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&...

4 AnswersDesktops7 years agoI want to completely delete my computer files/hard drive and start over (windows 7)?
Before I ask how to do this I want to just say that I don't care about saving and files or pictures on my computer. I have nothing on my computer that I can't just reinstall so I don't mind about personal files.
With that said my question stands. I want to "nuke" all my files and hard drive on my computer so I can start fresh, like the day I got the computer.
I hear I have to reinstall windows 7, which is fine but do I need a disk? If so do I need a certain type of disk or just a windows 7 reboot disk (I lost my original copy)?
With reinstalling windows 7 I still want to make sure every files is erased, please help me with this process.

1 AnswerOther - Local Businesses9 years agoWireless USB Adapter Problems?
I have a N300 Wireless USB adapter for my computer. It works fine 75% of the time. but the other 25% it causes annoyance.
Sometimes when I go to a website it'll just tell me that the web page can not be found. So I must then refresh the page a couple time until it finally works. Sometimes I have to wait around 5 or so minutes until it finally works.
Also youtube videos don't load constantly. Usually I'll click a video and it works fine but other times I'll click a video and it'll start to buffer and then it'll say 'error this video cannot be played'.
As you can see this can cause a bit of frustration. I just don't understand how this adapter does this because my motum/router is only like 40 ft away from the wireless usb.
Any ideas on how to fix this without buying a new adapter or switching to wired?

2 AnswersGoogle9 years agoHow do I run for longer without getting tired?
I've been jogging a mile everyday for the past week because I'm pretty out of shape. The thing is I'll start jogging when I start off and then I'll stop and start walking almost 30 seconds later, because I'm so out of breath. My question is, if I keep doing these small runs and walk the rest does that help me run for longer distances in time? Does walking convert to running overtime?
4 AnswersDiet & Fitness9 years agoHow am I doing? (Diet)?
Hello I've been on a diet for a week now. I want to know what I'm doing right/wrong. First off I've been eating things like egg whites on whole wheat bread and whole grain cereals for breakfast, salads (with a little Cesar dressing) and sandwiches for lunch (my sandwiched always consist of whole grain bread and turkey/low fat cheese. And for dinner I usually have grilled chicken. I'm not going to lie but I've been eating grilled chicken almost everyday I want to know if that's good. Also for snacks I eat mostly fruits like apples bananas and fruit cups sometimes no sugar jello (also want to know if jello is good or not).
So for exercise I'm jogging (mostly walking). For 15-30 mins every day. Is that good? Longer maybe?
And for drinks I've been drinking nothing but water. Does water help me lose weight or no? Should I be drinking other things like crystal light?
