Re: desperate for help!

Does it say Boot Priorities have changed, hit a key to enter setup?

Yes, it should be a doodle - just go into the BIOS and check the HDD boot device priority, lol.

How good are you with PCs?

Re: desperate for help!

Do you have a floppy or another drive attached? Or maybe something in the DVD player? If so, remove them first.
