    BIOS Question

    Got the ISO downloaded, did a checsum, burned to CD all set to go. But, it won't boot on restart. that means I have to go in and change the BIOS setting, which is something I don't really want to do. How easy is it to really mess up your system changing this one BIOS setting?

    Very difficult: all you're doing is changing the boot order. If there's no CD in the drive it'll boot from the first hard drive (or whatever you tell it to). If you just change that one setting, you'll be fine.

    If you want to be super sure, and assuming your system works OK now just make a note of the bios settings.

    I have never seen a BIOS that was not capable of loading the default configuration. Don't sweat it- it just sounds scary!
