753695 2009-03-08 00:50:00 WT-Is it actually possible for the bios not to see it but for a linux live cd to see it?

How does that work?:p

753696 2009-03-08 01:31:00 It is Possible - the BIOS basically in simple non tech terms -starts the PC and tells every thing how to start, what to run etc Basic Input output System.

If the BIOS is told not to read the HDD or the HDD is disabled then it wont work.

Resetting the BIOS back to default, and this is done by Jumpers on some Boards OR / And by entering the BIOS on start up, and selecting a certain key,Then allows everything to work (or should). Once the BIOS is reset, then a person goes back in and make sure the First boot device is the optical drive, if the linux CD see's the drive thats good, generally if the drive is stuffed, even Linux wont see it.
