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.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
