You've had good suggestions about burning CDs... Why can't you get into the BIOS? Is it password locked? Normally eMachines will flash a quick text screen, then show the eMachines splash screen. When the splash screen shows up press the "Del" key and you should get BIOS setup. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
