Yep. Shut down the computer, then start it while pressing F12, F2, F1, F11 and delete. That should get you into the BIOS. One of those keys is the official entry key, but no one seems to know what the right key is. Once you are in the BIOS, there should be a boot menu. Navigate to it using the arrow keys. In it you should be able to re-order boot devices.

The <del> key allows entry to < setup>. Use <alt p> to go to second page where you'll find boot order selection.

Seems like you answered your question. Do you see a place to change the boot order?

Are you just wanting to change the boot order this once or do you want it to be indefinite?

Yes, I was able to change the boot sequence such that the CD drive is first. Now I'm trying to find a bootable program the will erase the hard drive. My instance of Win98se is corrupted and will not boot.

Something like an ease Us program would work. Check out their website.
