Hello all,

I really don't get what are you asking about !

are you trying to make your computer boot the cdrom first and then the primary slave ( hard drive ) ?

i think you can configure that in the bios menu, and it shouldn't screw up anything else

Knox, this is Technical Support for the network services. I'll move this..

He's saying that the bios type screens have been "removed" from the boot process, however he is having a systems issue of some nature and wants to boot from CD but then to do so he need to change the order of boot devices which may cause the bios screens to be "readded" to normal boots and he doesn't want that...at least that's how I read it.

Well if you hit F1 or F3 depending on PCs really quick anytime at the start of booting it will load the boot settings place, now there is a tab called Boot or something like that, in that tab you select CD Rom for primary boot device and save the settings and restart. Then once you want to start booting from HD again just repeat but selecting one of your HDs for the primary boot device.

That works on my computer anyway... It may not work on yours.
