BIOS

[cptmac]

Yesterday your advice got my machine up and running. So this morning, since last night I had to reinstall Vista to get out of a boot loop, I’m thinking I should look at the BIOS and make sure I’m booting to the HD and not the windows cd. It’s a Gigabyte P35 DQ6. BIOS had reset itself to boot first to the HD. That was interesting. Next I highlight “load optimized defaults,”changed No to Yes and pressed F10 to save and exit. But pressing F10 nothing happens. Make your change exit and save. What am I doing wrong? Thanks as always.

You don't want to keep reloading the optimized defaults. Make your changes, then press f10 to save and exit. Don't highlight optimized defaults, which changes your boot order. I use floppy>cd>hardrive.
