Windows 10: How to boot a PC to the DVD Drive

Hi

my wife has a MEDION MD 34045/2521 PC running W10 Home fully updated and I believe the HDD may be failing
as everything takes a long time to open/work.

The HDD passes the tests with Seatools for Windows but I have seen in the pass where Seatools for Windows
pass a HDD but Seatools for DOS fails it.

I have created a Boot DVD but my problem is that I cannot work out how to get the PC to boot to the DVD drive.

I have been into the BIOS/UEFI and set first boot to the DVD drive and tried all combination of boot settings such as fast, quiet boot but after many tries I still have not booted to the DVD drive.

I would appreciate any advice on how to get the boot to DVD working.

Thanks and Regards

Daniel

P55A UD3 Problem Booting DVD Drive

You went to bios and selected the dvd drive as first boot up ?) cd-rom doesn't cut it, has to be that exact drive from the list.

 

Can't boot from DVD drive

Is your controller in RAID/AHCI modes? If so, the DVD drive will be listed as a separate device in the list of available boot devices, not as "CDROM". Remember that when setting boot device priority. Otherwise, read the manual to see which hotkey during POST brings up the boot menu that lets you select which device to boot from. Even here, the drive will be listed separately, and not as "CDROM".
