Ron, I didn't see any boot or boot sequence on the screen. I couldn't look through the menu screen/directory b/c now my mouse and keyboard froze on this thing. Ugghhh! I'm gonna try your and Adam's directions tomorrow again and go from there.

Thanks seriously for the help. Even though I haven't gotten anywhere, it's been a big help.

Unfortunately, the manual doesn't have screen shots of the bios for that system, just descriptions, but in these descriptions, the 5th one on the list (assuming that this is like a lot of the other dell bioses where everything is on one screen that just scrolls) is boot sequence. You would use the arrow keys to highlight it, then tap enter to go into the specific screen. At which point, follow Ron's guidelines to move the CD/DVD to the top of the list -note it might not be described as "cd / dvd" it might say something like "SonyXM5462D" or whatever the model number is.

Typically, in any BIOS, what keys you can use and what they do is listed at the bottom of every screen.
