ive recently bought a dvd writer (lite on - is that a good name?) and im having trouble installing it. i had a cd writer in earlier, im just replacing the CD with the DVD writer so the settings ive kept the same. i dont really know how to do this, but the instructions were quite straight forward, and since im just copying the settings it was no problem. after i connected i couldnt boot up the computer, disk boot failure or something like that was the error. ive asked soem colleagues, they say i need to go into BIOS (i believe by pressing the delete key as soon as comp loads up?) and changing the bootup sequence. im not quite sure why this would be the case by the way, because it makes sense the settings would remain the same. but anyway thats how it is. so i tried going into the BIOS but thats not making sense to me either. i have two hard disks, C: is 30 gigs, E: is 120 gigs. unfortunately i dont know the brands, tho in BIOS one was called ATAPI. when i made that number 1 in the bootup sequence that didnt work.
so can anyopne advise on what exactly to do in the bios? and this is assuming that is in fac tth eproblem?
thanks!
