Boot order (2)



Hi again....

Well I just disabled the BIOS and it worked... Is this ok to do?

If I only have one IDE drive should I set it to slave or master (I know 
normally is master) in Linux?  If I set it to slave BIOS doesn't even 
detect it :-)

Any consequences of changing these settings?

Regards,

Dave
