basicly youll need to set the optical drive first on the boot devices order (in the bios) , then youll see a message like this when it will boot from the winxp cd "press any key to boot from cd..." then you have about 5 seconds to press a key if you wanna boot from it otherwise it will just automatically boot from the hd

Yes, of course it is but I just want to know how to access the Bios setup screen to set boot order for Toshiba laptop!
Thanks anyway!

I don't know myself. Check manual or call Toshiba tech support.

OK, I'll check the online documents!
Thanks for reply!

in most cases its the *delete* key , but in some its esc/f1/f2/f4

if my memory serves me correctly, it's esc for the toshiba laptop

 

[EricB]

escape it is

I've checked Toshiba online technical docs. EricB was right, firstly we must push esc continuosly until it told us to press F1 to enter the CMOS setup.
Thanks for all reply!
