How do I change the Bios boot order?
How to get into your BIOS depends, not on Windows, but on what
motherboard/BIOS you have. As a matter of fact, you have to access the BIOS
before Windows even starts to boot. One common way is to press the Del key
when you first power on, but that's not necessarily right for your computer.
Watch the screen carefully when you first boot; there's often a message
there telling you what to do. If not, check your system documentation or
check with your vendor.
Also look here:

try the Del key. There's a good chance that's correct for you.
Once you get into the BIOS setup screens, look around for the screen and
place to change the boot order. I can't tell you exactly where to find it
because it's different on different machines. Be very careful not to change
anything else there.
If you think of your hard drive as a file cabinet, a partition is like a
drawer in that file cabinet. You can't put any file folders into the cabinet
unless you have at least one drawer to put them in. You can have more than
one, but you have to have at least one.
The same thing with a hard drive. You have to have a least one partition to
put your files and folders in. Most people have a single partition (usually
called C
, but other people divide their drive into multiple partitions,
each taking other letters of the alphabet.
You're welcome. Glad to help.
