BIOS seemed to have the standard boot options - floppy, cdrom, hard drive - plus some others - e.g. usb fdd. In fact, there is a scroll bar and even more options which included my dvd-rw drive. I changed the boot sequence to floppy, dvd drive, hard drive and can now boot from CD's. Tom > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
