Hi Amro,
As Andrew has said (And so did I) so long as you do NOT
leave a CD in the drive when you power off, your PC will
start perfectly normally.

Right George, I thought you would press either F2 or F8
while the computer
is starting to access the BIOS, and then you choose from a
list where to
boot from... but I didn't realise that choice would then
become the default
booting choice. Well, that didn't happen when I reinstalled
Windows and
selected boot from CD. When the reinstallation was complete
the computer
started normally...
Am I confusing things together? Please explain.
After accessing the BIOS, if I can remember how many times I
need to arrow
down to select boot from CD, I then can boot from CD when I
need to use
Linux, restart the computer when I'm done and all then is
back to normal.
Would this way work?
To use the above method first I will need to get some
sighted help to know
how many times I need to arrow to choose CD to boot from...
but if that then
would make the computer always try to boot from CD first as
you said, then I
need to think of another way.
Any guidance is very much welcomed.
Amro
