Reinstalling Windows 7 on DELL Inspiron 1525: Setting BIOS for CD/DVD Boot Drive

Best answers

How can I boot a Dell Inspiron 1525 from a Windows 7 installation CD/DVD when the BIOS boot order does not seem to work?

To boot the installer on the Dell Inspiron 1525, use the one-time boot menu with F12, then choose the CD/DVD option with the down arrow and Enter, and make sure the Windows 7 disc is actually bootable [#16465866][#16465897][#16465847] If it still starts the system or hangs on a blue screen, the installation disc may be damaged or locally worn, so test that disc in another computer and try another bootable CD/DVD [#16466735][#16466696] The laptop drive itself seems to read other CDs, so the problem is more likely with the installer disc or its bootability than with the drive [#16465863][#16465847]

    Does the computer boot from any other bootable CD / DVD?

    Since then, the disc may have become tarnished / damaged locally.
    Check booting from this disc on another computer as well

    Is it a BSOD screen (i.e. with an error code) or is it just all blue with no information?
