    hmm okay, new question...
    How do I set my bios to automatically boot from CD first, if as soon as i set it up i get an option to start Raid configuration somethin and then it says "NTLDR is missing. Press Crtl-Alt-Del to restart"??

    you sure there isnt a screen before that? One that does a memory check?

    If there is, press del or F1 to open BIOS, and you should be able to configure cd rom primary boot from there

    alright, i know how to once i get in to bios, but i didn't see an option to get into them last time, but thanks ill try again!

    EDIT
    no dice...
    no menu or any possible place to hit F1 or del or anything, just a RAid configuration and thats it
    I'll try to work with it though

    Need to turn off to see memory count,if you can't see then that means your monitor is coming on after the "del" as gone.
    I think you press "tab" in raid it shuold show something.

    Alright, thanks
    I'll give that a try

    And its not my monitor being turned on to late because i already figured on that and tried turning my monitor on and waiting for it to be fully powered and everything before even hitting the power switch on my comp, so its not that, but ill try the tab thing

    Kai

    it's b/c you have a floppy in your floppy drive.
