is there anyway to force a boot from disc without going through the BIOS?

when i turn on my PC i have my 2 drives C & D (either DVD rom or 2nd HD) and can use them both fine. if i do a restart the D Drive disappears.

I have been trying to reformat but when i set the DVD rom as the priority device in the BIOS i loose it when it it exits and restarts.

its really starting to piss me off. I tried to reinstall windows from the desktop but i only have a cd with service pack 1 and my pc has service pack 2 so it won't allow me to install the older one over the top :mellow:

sorry if it is hard to follow i'm not really sure how to explain it

normally F8 will bring up a bios boot selection menu (not actually enteringinto bios, just gives you a choice of what to boot from). If this is a pioneer 112 dvd burner we are talking about, go get it replaced at the store you bought it from... oh also not everyone uses F8 for the boot menu, so you may need to look round at the start of the boot and see if it gives you and hint as to what they could be using

I get my new ASUS board today... and just as I expected. Fun fun fun...

btw, UT3 is awesome, definitely buying it.

I got MOHA, single player is great, multiplayer less so pre-patch, after 1.1 now its sorta ok, you stand a chance from snipers and sprayers in MOHA but there isnt many Aussie servers so dont buy it for the MP even tho I think its better than COD2's mp, ie less fustrating.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
