How do i set asus netbook to boot from dvd - ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK Netbook

You need to go into the bios settings and boot windows dvd from dvd ROM then you need to do partition. This is how your hard drive will reset.

Hello
The answer is YES. You can load Win-7 from an external DVD player, after making it as first boot device. You must have get DVD as first boot devce and the internal hard disc to second boot device. Click out all boot devices to none, by entering into the bios window. You can get the bios settings, by press and hold the "Delete" key of your computer, as it first try to load. OK.

You will need the following items:

1. External USB DvD Drive; Can be purchased from local retailer
2. Your Asus Eee PC Restore Disk; This should have come with your netbook. You can order an additional disk by calling Asus, 888- 678-3688.

3. Once you have the above items be sure all your photos, music, documents, data etc. are backed up to a flash drive or dvd. A factory restore of an Asus netbook will ERASE all personal data on the hard drive. You must back up the data on another device in order to preserve it!

4. Connect the external DvD drive to your netbook and insert the Asus Eee PC Restore Disk.

5. Restart the netbook and boot from CD (usually the default key to boot from CD is F12).

6. Follow the onscreen instructions that are on the restore disk.

7. After installation of all software, update windows and reinstall all your necessary software.

8. Enjoy!

go into the BIOS and make USB or DVD drive is set to be the 1st boot device. Look under boot order in the BIOS.

usb cable and external usb dvd reader. it can be done with a thumb drive with a bit of work also.
There is a setting in bios for install, and you should make sure bios is set to boot from either external cd/dvd or thumb drive depending on how you are installing. once the installation is complete you should on next reboot change the bios setting from install to normal, otherwise the usb port will operate at 1 speed instead of 2 which is annoying.

Power on netbook, before booting up, press F9 or F10 or Esc Key(it varies on different netbooks), go to the boot options, change the boot order priority and make your DVD drive the first boot option and then your hard drive. now Put the DVD, save the settings. Now it will load the DVD and the set up screen will come.

Take the battery out, leave it unplugged for a day or so... usually resets the bios for me. Sometimes though, you might have to manually unplug the cmos battery as well, that involves opening the system.

Hi,
You should put the installation cd directly in the netbook. Start the netbook with the cd in the dvd drive and when the message appears "Press any key to boot from cd" press enter. Then you must follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall Windows (the procedure differs for each operating system).

You need to connect an external DVD & insert your dvd disc, that came with your unit, set it up in BIOS to "Boot from DVD" and restart the PC, when it Boots off the DVD simply follow the instructions to completely reinstall your Operating System.

what is password? for windows? for BIOS? for what?....
you use eeePC with Linux OS or Microsoft Windows OS? For Linux, follow my instruction for recovery your OS. Press F9, after you turn ON your netbook. And follow that instruction. Or you can use recovery DVD (include your netbook), after you plug in external DVD-ROM and make it boot priority for first is DVD-ROM (enter your BIOS first).
