- Then go to BIOS and then check whether your CD Drive is detected or not , if it is not detected , open your CPU Panel , and then check CD Drive back and change the jumper settings. After you change the jumper settings from primary or secondary then the CD Drive will be detected.

- hey actually tell me which motherboard are you using... But initially when you turn on your computer , just ina fraction of second a screen will appear , which shows you motherboard manufacturer or Company , there itself the key for BIOS will be displayed... generally for Intel Motherboards it will be F2 or DEL , Mercury it will be DEL ... First of all let me know the model of your computer and the motherboard you are using ..

- different manufacturers use different keys for entry into BIOS, try F2, F8, and even F11. If those don't won't work, go one by one *function key* and see which will let you in. Make sure you are hit the keys at the very beginning of turning it on. Sometimes holding it down until it goes through or repeatedly hit the button helps. If you are getting a beeping sound, that most likely is not the appropriate button. F2 or F8 are the most likely keys.


When you formatted, did you format through windows on do format from DOS command C Prompt?

If formatted through DOS, you will most likely need to learn some basic DOS commands to set it read CD drive to reinstall.

It still doesn't explain being unable to access BIOS from start function key. Good luck to you.

- Pressing DELETE while powering on? Only hit one of the function keys. Not delete. *sorry if I am misunderstanding you*
