| 1149963 | 2010-11-10 06:16:00 | Agent24, I've tried both versions you mentioned, but will do so again. Yup to the different partition and yes, tried different HD as well sarel |

| 1149968 | 2010-11-11 17:41:00 | The bios does not want to accept the change in boot order unless I'm doing something totally wrong. Will keep on trying. sarel |

| 1149969 | 2010-11-11 19:05:00 | Are you choosing "save and exit" when you leave the BIOS? Is it a Compaq/HP? |

| 1149970 | 2010-11-11 19:49:00 | The boot order is controlled by the boot loader (GRUB in this case) not the CMOS setup. Will have to leave this to somebody else to explain as I have run out of time at the moment.... | johnd (85) | ||

Will have to leave this to somebody else to explain as I have run out of time at the moment.... What? No it's not, the BIOS handles it... For example, my BIOS is set to try Floppy first, then CD drives, then the hard drive with GRUB on it. If there was a bootable floppy in the drive it would boot that and never attempt booting from anything else, and GRUB would never do anything. |
