 Laptop dvd /rw makes windows disappear
Hi guys,

when i press f12 for boot menu it says boot ----- and its blank
and press enter to enter menu (bios)

Re: Laptop dvd /rw makes windows disappear
Ide0 is primary boot, are you sure that its the Hard drive, and not the new DVD/RW? and there are no other boot options?
