I am trying to reinstall Jaunty via a cd. However, the computer will not boot the cd at startup. I have made a couple of copies (one via slow burn), but both will not but on startup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you changed your BIOS setting to boot from cd first?

Are there Bios settings for a Ubuntu Box? If so how do you change them.

IN general you press on of the F keys to access the bios during startup. If a dell, I believe it is F12. Your system docs should tell you, or use google to find out.

when you boot pay attention to the text that comes on your screen. Mine says
press Del to enter Setup if I press the delete key I am in BIOS.
