BIOS Help
Some computers have hit F12 at startup to go into Boot Order! Change it there.
BIOS always has boot order in there. You just have to look in ALL places! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "EpicZebra" wrote: Not very old, I just got it about 2 months ago.

Consult your manual or go online to find out how to get into your computer's BIOS.
