Default Re: BIOS setting is causing me my life

I'm assuming that you have changed the BIOS setting back again right? In any
event disabling Quick Boot should not cause this problem. Is it possible
that you made other changes while in the BIOS? Take a look at the Boot
Sequence or Boot Order. It should be listed something like this
First device - Floppy
Second device - CD-Rom
Third device - HD0
Fourth device - Disabled

Different BIOS's have different terms for these settings but you should be
able to sort it once you can see them.
