I gethered enough courage and went to the bios...Yes, they have a Boot section with the names of my two physical drives and I chose which one I boot first.
But on the Main, thi is what I got: Primary IDE drive Master (not detected) Primary IDE drive Slave (not detected) Secondary IDE drive Master (the DVD_RW) Secondary IDE drive slave (not detected) Don´t leave me alone... How can I chose in a simple way which drive to boot? Why the drives are not detected?...
