This is Not the option to which I refer.

Every BIOS that I have ever heard of has a setting, that can be changed, that sets the 
sequence order in which attached drives are check at boot.
By drives, as used above, I included floppy, hds, cdroms, zips, etc. 

With older Award BIOS this was found in BIOS Feature Setup and was listed as Boot 
Sequence.
With AMI BIOS it was Advanced CMOS Settings and is listed by Device order.

Check through every listing given by your BIOS, some of which require will you to 
press enter to access a sub menu, but I am sure you have a
setting for it somewhere.
