Somehow I didn't get the right message out. Here it is - -
I have a DELL desktop, Optiplex GX200 Rv A04 Phoenix Technologies.
On startup, I press F2 and wait until it enters setup.
I scroll down to  BOOT SEQUENCE and enter.
I USED TO have - -floppy, HD0, CDrom. While trying to change the order

to - -floppy, CDrom, HD0   I hit some?? key and now the startup  is

FLOPPY and I can enable/disable by hitting the space bar.

I found 3 little pin jumpers " SWC  SAFE  Bios " I change the bios  plug,
but it's still the same.  I cannot go back to the original settings.
Several readers gave me leads to Dell's sites on their computers, including
mine, but nothing on BIOS setup. Thanks to all who answered my call
for help.    AL SMITH
