You need to have the OS CD to do that. More often than not once the CD is inserted the installation process should in case it doesn't start then you need to change the Boot Sequence and the complete step is mentioned below.

Its Simple you are sure to like it.....Try it Out....Good luck

Go into your Bios/Setup, or Boot Menu, at startup, and change the Boot Order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the Boot Order, then reboot with the disk in the Drive.

At startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, to go into Bios/Setup, or F12 for the Boot Menu

My zpad wont turn back on its like it crashed

You can try a "factory reset" by holding the power button and the volume up button down simultaneously until a ZTE screen appears. Then use the volume down button to select the recovery option. Then you can highlight wipe data/factory reset. Then press the power button. This will wipe your phone and return it to the condition of fresh out of the box. OR, you can try to restart the phone by pressing down the volume and the home buttons simultaneously. If that works, it pops up a boot menu which you can use to restart the phone.

You definitely saw Dude wipes commercial. Are they really good?

I've used Mangroomer Biz Wipes, baby wipes, and Dude Wipes, overall all they do the job but there are some key differences. Baby wipes have the largest size, but usually come in scented versions, Dude wipes have neutral fresh. I don't like heavy scents and Dude ones are the best for me. Baby wipes are larger and cost less than Dude Wipes but what guy wants to admit he uses baby wipes? -
Dude Wipes Best wipes

Hi I have got problem with my laptopts.. its shows blue screen and displays starts windows normally? Can any one help me? Thank you tiontos

blue screen errors may indicate either a hardware problem or software. if this just recently happened, try restarting Windows, tap F8 a few times to enter Advanced Options Menu, then select Last Known-Good Configuration and press Enter. If this does not work, try the same steps to get to the Advanced Option again, select Safe Mode and press Enter. If this works, you may try system restore to a point before the issue started. If this does not even work, your next bet would be an OS repair or a reinstall of your OS.

Why PC restart repeatedly after installing the operating system

Try wiping out the drive first and then do a fresh install of the operating system. Usually if there are any files left over from the previous install, it could cause problems.

When starting up you can push F8 or F2 so you get in the safe mode.
Run virus scanner from there.
It can also be a faulty HD. Which is a little more expensive to change out. Hope on the safe mode solution.
