im buggered. i had a very big night sat night and I am still feeling it/recovering.

[Whiplash]

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

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

cheers

i had a quick google search and found a forum that said to press F7 but that did sweet FA.

looks like i will be reformatting tonight

Frontlines - Fuel of War Beta is out too i just been having a game of that and looks very nice

about to install UT3 but I'm not holding my breath as i didn't like any of the others

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Can any of you tell me why this is awesome lol...

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.

Told you UT3 was great

[Pauly33GTS-t]

revised my post look at imageshack link.

[chops]

Nice board.

They look awesome and lots of silent pipey goodness.

Not sure I could justify those sort of beans for a motherboard though.

I don't think I'm hard core enough to use the extra features.

[Madaz]

Thats ok neither is pauly

had a look at ut3 not my thing so will continue to look forward to sof3
