Have any of you ever bumped into a BIOS that looks like this?

I've been poking around in there, but cannot find anything to change the bootorder. I tried unplugging the harddrive to see if I could force it to boot from the CD drive, but it won't boot from it still. I tested to see if the CD drive was working on another computer and it was so I am blaming the bootorder. Oh, and when I do unplug the harddrive, it tells me to enter a system cd and hit enter...

It looks familiar, back in the days of Windows 98 those old bios' didn't support booting from cdrom's, to install Windows we had to boot from a floppy, if I remember correctly it reads the floppy drive before the hard disk, so no change in boot priority was necessary or provided.

There are tools to allow booting from a CD via floppy for chipsets that don't support booting optical devices manually. Smart Boot Manager, or something like that...? Google knows.

Heh, yeah, I did see stuff on booting from floppys in here. Blah, gotta look for new accessories for my computer! Well, thanks for the response guys, I am guessing this does not support booting from CD without outside help so it looks like I'll be dropping by the electronic store tomorrow. Stupid BIOS.
