You shouldn't have to install thru dos, can you boot your computer to a cdrom or boot disk ??

And is there a reason your typing in all CAPS.. some find that your either screaming at them and it comes off as being rude.

to boot from the cdrom I would have to get into the settings, which I can't. Most systems you hit F2. How do I get into the cmos settings on a Compaq Deskpro 4000?
