Sounds like a problem with boot sequence in bios or grub not properly working. Did you ensure changing the boot sequence again to HDD. Oh but you say even f2 and f12 keys are also not working! That means you are not able to change the boot sequence or any other bios settings now? Anyways, I don't think linux would have been the cause. Doing something foolish with linux after install might be. -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry www.mistrynitesh.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GB/J/IT/O>TW d+(-) s+:+>: a- C+ UL>+++ P L++>+++ !E W++ N* o?
