Bios = basic input/output protocol, and is not part of your operating system. It is the configuration that is held by a cmos battery on your motherboard. To change anything you watch your bootup screen very carefully, and as soon as the memory count is complette you hit Delete (on most mobos, though F1 on some - a message should appear at the bottom of the screen, but you don't have much time). You then have to look through the options on each page, as the way the bios software is set up varies enormously. Somewhere in there you will find something like'Plug and Play OS' which you set to 'no'. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
