Hi I would like to reinstall Windows XP Home
But When I put in the cd and restart the computer to boot off the cd it just starts up. I wont even allow me to access the BIOS at all as I press the DEL button but it shows the asus logo then it starts to load windows just as normal. I can read the cd once windows is booted up. How can I fix this?

Can we have the make and model number of the computer.
Have you tried tapping del from when the computer beeps. Are you 100% certin that del is the key to your bios.

Thanks for the reply

Model: ASUS A6B00L
RAM: 512 MB
HD: 80 GB
OS: XP Home SP2
Proccesor: 1.5GHZ

How do I find out if it is/isnt the del key to access the BIOS ?

[peterm]

on startup it should say what key to press

[mme16]

all it displays is the intel inside logo and the asus logo I have tried to shutdown than wait then turn back on. Restarting it but nothing

Hmm odd this is from the ASUS web site: press DEL
to enter BIOS setup page when ASUS white logo appears during system Boot-up procedure.

I have done it before so I dont know what is wrong.

[peterm]

is there more then 1 del key

[peterm]

Try this
ASUS click on me

Thaks for all the reply's

I have fixed this problem, by trying almost every possible key that would start the bios and it was F2. I have now started to do a clean install of windows xp home

Thanks for the help
