Please don't feel bad on my account. I'm a big boy...I knew what could
potentially happen...that's why I had a back up. I don't believe in
holding other responsible for what I do anyway. Besides, I got back up
in record time and learned some stuff (like, dont' trust Win7 Backup
And Restore when it tells you it will let you have multiple images on a
nearly empty disc....it lies and will delete your prior image). But now
my new image is 21GB (and has most of my day-to-day bread and butter
apps built in with all apps pointing to data on a separate drive. I can
nuke the SSD now and be back to working strength in less than 30 minutes!
It would be nice of the BIOS had some decent documentation, though. Most
of them just aren't clear.

Especially on the lists I'm on where they ask:
what does "OS" and/or "MB" mean... <grin>
I thought it was at least fairly "safe" here.
(Sorry.)
Glad I never tried that setting. (wow)
(DSinc, sorry for your loss, but at least I was not involved, <grin>)
We need to go out and make sure they (the SSD people) spread the word!

It is a Gigabyte P35-DS4, Revision 2.0. It's a fairly old mobo, now.
Award Bios F14, recently updated.
Yeah, not much said about it. Pretty scary that one setting like
this can render a system unbootable...
