From my limited exp it's not a good idea to set your BIOS to check the HD first for an OS because you want to reserve the floppy drive and the CD in case you need to intercept the OS loading if you want to do some repaier/maintenace stuff. |

The only situation under which you wouldn't be able to change it back is if the BIOS was completely hosed, and in that situation NONE of the drives are much help (unless your BIOS has recovery features - and these are normally called before the boot sequence comes into play). |

Duh well for a start what minimal gain in boot speed? And then what if your HD is dieseased and you don't want to boot an OS from it? |
