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 first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
