My Computer was Unable to boot Windows CD

Hi James,

Your problem could be a number of reasons. If you tried using the windows CD it means your monitor's still working. 
If you have tried booting from the CD and still nothing, it could be faulty Hardware. You need to remove any newly installed hardware before your computer messed up. Also try to check your PC for loose connections. Try removing each hardware and place them back on more securely. If nothing's changed, then it could be a virus / malware. Try inserting your HD in another PC to clean it up. Hope this helps.

My Computer was Unable to boot Windows CD

If you want to boot from the CD or the Windows setup CD or DVD, you need to check first in the BIOS if your optical drive is set as first boot. To do this, start or restart your computer then press Del, Delete, F2, or whichever key is used to go to the BIOS.

In the BIOS, navigate to the “Boot” section then change the setting for the hard drive and the CD drive. Configure the CD drive as first boot device and the hard drive as the second boot device. In this setup, if there is a bootable CD inside the optical drive, it will automatically boot the computer from the CD when you start the machine.

If this doesn’t work, try cleaning the lens of your optical drive. You can use the lens cleaner of your DVD player or you can buy one from a local computer store. If this doesn’t work, try cleaning the disc itself by washing your CD with a solution of water and baby shampoo. After washing, wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth.

If this doesn’t work, try inserting the disc on a different computer with a working optical drive then see if it works there. If the other computer was able to boot from the CD, try cleaning the lens of your optical drive with one of the following. Try checking out the following optical lens cleaner on eBay:
