Anyone speak computer-German?

I need to change the boot order to boot from the CD, but the BIOS is in German and I can't figure out how. I thought one of the menus would say 'CD-ROM', which would be a help, but if it's there I can't find it. Any help appreciated.

I resort to google translate when I get stuck.

Yes, that was my first thought too, but apparently the German for CD is CD, but I still can't find it!

At least it's not Chinese. You have a fighting chance of getting it right

Anything say platte?

 

[accountantpete]

Das Boot?

The top menu bar usually has the Boot option - just go through those. It's probably the one that says Start.

Ok, nothing says 'platte' exactly, but there is one says 'Start', which looks like this:

Other possible candidates are 'sicherheit' which looks like this:

and 'spannung', which looks like this:

Any good?

Thanks all.

No but I did remove all German contacts from my smartphone....

I wanted it Hans free

Deffo the Start option. You've got Active and Disabled Options there

That would have been my guess too, except that I'd expect to see CD on that list, and also whenever I've changed boot order, it's been about selecting an option and 'promoting' it to the top of the list, whereas this menu seems to offer options like 'one', 'fast' and 'disabled'. Hmmm.

Now that looks like the bidniss! Many thanks.

Apparently I need to select Erweitert in the Einstellungen menu. Which is a bugger, 'cos there isn't one!

None of them, I think. What's in the Gerate (devices) menu?
