As a follow up to this thread, the way to get into the BIOS settings is=
 different depending on the computer. More specifically, it depends on the=
 maker of the BIOS chip. In general, you press a certain key or key=
 combination on the keyboard during a specific brief period during the boot=
 process. Every computer I have ever seen will tell you what key to press=
 during the boot process. Mine says "Press DEL to enter setup", but I have=
 seen directions to press F2, CTRL-S, and others. You have to press the key=
 or key combination during a brief (2 - 3 seconds, generally) period of=
 time after the screen that says what key to press appears and the boot=
 process continues. If you miss the window of opportunity, you have to let=
 the machine finish booting, shut it down, and try again.

HTH,

Ron
