Hi
My Windows7 PC (64bit) has become infected with trojans/viruses and I need to do a full re-install from scratch. But when I try to boot off the CD/DVD drive it keeps (eventually) going to my hard disk and booting from there. How do I FORCE it to boot from the DVD? I have tried hitting F10 during boot to get the Intel "Boot Menu" but whichever option I select
(i.e. either the "ST3500320NS - 500.1GB" or
the "TSSTcorp CDDVDDW SH-S223C - ATAPI")
... either way it always still seems to boot off the hard disk !
Obviously this is no good because I might catch a virus from the current installation!
- Any thoughts?
With thanks

P.S. My system:
O/S: Windows7 64bit
MB: Intel DP55WB MA TX
Processor: Intel Core I5 750 2.66GHz
HD: Seagate 500Gb, RPM: 7200, Cache:32MB, SATA
DVD: DVD-RWSATA
P.S. I have tried my damnest to kill off all infections by doing extensive scans with anti-virus software (AVG, Kaspersky) and various anti-valware (e.g. Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, MSE, Spybot Search& Destroy, etc) - I even tried using booting from rescue CDs (even though most of them failed to run) - anyhow I am HOPING that my data is virus free.
