>>sorry to start out with such a rudimentary question but..... how the %$#@* does one get into BIOS to see what is installed where.... In a sense it is rudimentary, in the sense of fundamental, but there's nobody here who hasn't asked (screamed) that question in essentially the same tones. This is a "Where the hell are my bootstraps since I have to pull myself up" question. As other posters have noted, the by far most common is DEL early in the POST sequence (before the drives are recognized, usually). Much more rare but still common is F1. Other sequences are more rare yet. The mobo manual should tell you. Both AMI and AWARD bioses use DEL in my experience, and virtually all recent ones. Spots PS. Repertoire.
