Re: Boot Sequence Trouble

Unless you believe that your bios may become inaccessible for changes,
booting order should commence first from the hard drive is the most logical.

I'd suggest: floppy, cd/dvd, hdd, in THAT order.

A good order is cd/dvd, hdd, floppy, in that order at the top. The rest

My darling(?) little niece got her hands on my laptop keyboard and
now
the boot-up sequence in "boot options" seems all haywire. I was not
sure
what the previous order was and do not know what the proper sequence is
suppose to be, so maybe someone here can help me out. I tried Google,
but
no
luck.
Boot Sequence is at present set at and in this order:
- USB Key
- USB CD-Rom/DVD Drive
- Hard Drive
- USB Hard Drive
- CD-Rom/ DVD Drive
- Network Drive
- USB Floppy Device

My System: Acer 2450 laptop
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Explorer 7

I'm a newuser at all this tech stuff and I hope someone can help me
solve
this problem. ( The computer that is... there's no hope for my niece!)
