2.7. AVG Rescue CD startup and installation

In order to successfully start the AVG Rescue CD, it is necessary, that the

computer’s BIOS is able to correctly detect the boot CD in the CD-ROM device. In

most cases it is enough to insert the CD into the CD-ROM device, turn on (or

restart) the computer and wait until a message appears asking for confirmation

about starting the system from CD. In reality either of the following situations may

occur (a) or (b):

a) System was successfully started from the CD

If you successfully started the AVG Rescue CD, AVG Rescue CD Update

Wizard (see chapter below) will be displayed to guide you through the

updating process.

b) System was not possible to start from the CD

If no message is displayed, asking for confirmation to boot the system from

the CD, it is likely that the BIOS (the internal computer system) is not

correctly configured.

o Newer motherboards allow users to directly select a device, which they

want the system to load from. Usually it is called a boot menu and can

be accessed by pressing a keyboard button or a shortcut key.

Information on how to access this menu may be displayed on the screen

during your computer startup. For more information please consult the

user manual to your motherboard.

o Another option is to access your computer BIOS directly and change the

settings to allow booting from CD. This operation is strictly intended

for advanced users only! Never try to change any BIOS settings,

unless you completely understand their meaning. Always consult the

user manual to your motherboard before changing any BIOS settings.

Note: We are unfortunately unable to cover every single eventuality that may

occur and how to solve it. Mainly because so many different motherboards and

BIOS manufacturers exist. Therefore please always consult your motherboard

user manual first, where you can find more information about how to boot
