re: Boot issue? Saturday, October 20, 2007 at 1:50 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by SW (14 messages posted) Thank you CK for your reply, We did disconnect both CD and DVD drives and rebooted but the same problem, long time till beep and WinXP loading. It took me along time to find that Dawoo uses the delete key to get into Bios, I went there and and looked around lol....really don't know enough to change anything in there, so left without saving any changes. It looks like the drives are set to Auto>>>On Had the correct time lol... Thanks again, Sal On Saturday, October 20, 2007 at 8:59 am, C K wrote: >If the problem is happening during POST (Power On Self Test), then of course what >you have done so far isn't going to work.
