My friend got a laptop Hp pavilion dv4000. The person who he got it from broke the screen completely so i ordered a new one. put it on works great but when i turn the pc on i get the blue screen of death after windows starts to load. i tried to change the boot order but the pc asks me for a bios password witch i don't know. So when i turn the pc on i can change where it boots from by pressing ESC but when i click the cd drive it just has the black screen like for a min and then loads it from the hard drive. What is the problem is it the dvd im using as a boot or the pc?

Remove the battery to clear cmos, this should give you a default BIOS

have you tried a linux bootable cd to see if the drive will read/boot a cd? might be a picky drive.

most linux distros are bootable/runnable off the iso. knoppix, ubuntu, etc... you download the iso, burn to cd, and instead of install, choose run from cd.

how would i make something boot of a flash drive or hard drive?

some newer motherboards will allow booting off a flash drive, go into the bios and see if usb device is listed in the boot order. hard drive booting? do you mean a usb connected hard drive? might work if the bios allowed it to be selected, and the drive had an os installed already.
